Democratized media is described by Keen as the democratization or change that web 2.0 has brought to the internet. Keen believed that the movement towards democratrized media would change the world and it has been. In this new democratized system, media and any sort of information will be made democratized. Keen believes that people are getting to caught up on the trend of web 2.0. When he made his decision to no longer participate in Camp Keen was deciding that we as a collective organism are becomng reliant and seduced by a web 2.0.
2. Compare and Contrast Keens take on Social Media with Douglas Rushkoff's. Which one speaks to you and your own experiences and why?
Both Rushkoff and Keen share the view that Web2.0 is taking over a nation of dependent and attached individuals and is creating a more connected people. Both also beleive that the intetnet has removed culture from society along with tradition. With the new era and age of web 2.0 people are forced to deal with too muc and often not relevant information. The idea of web 2.0 is too democratized. I believe that the internet is something that should not take over ones life. In the 10 commandments of web 2.0 it is crucial to live in person as well as following the other commandments. The internet is a great source but one must be careful when deciding what information to use.
