Twitter, Facebook and Cellphones

Clay Shirky's message is right on the money. Professionals are NO longer the producers of content and information.

a) Tech transfer from Nigeria to US.
b) Media landscape: Communication evolved from one to one; one to many; many to many.
c) Internet is the digital carrier for all media.
d) Consumers can now be producers.
