"The computer in your cell phone is a million times cheaper, and a thousand times more powerful, and 100 times smaller than the biggest computer at MIT in 1965.. So what used to fit in a building now fits in your pocket...
What fits in your pocket today will fit inside a Blood Cell in 25 years"

TALK ABOUT YOUR  Conclusions about Catfish

2. GO BACK AND CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS WITH YOUR CONCLUSIONS ABOUT CATFISH IN MIND:

Open Source and Crowdsourcing.

What are the values implicit in both collaborative open source activities and "crowd-sourced" activities on behalf of a corporation, school or organization? Has the open source movement created new forms, or just copies of old ones? What are the possibilities, here, for new cultural and economic institutions, and how might they be improvements on the status quo? 


Whither the Individual?

As we join groups and social networks from affinity sites to Facebook, are we extending and expanding  identities, or increasingly conforming to the cookie-cutter profiles demanded of these interfaces? Is the loss of "personal space" and "reflection" so many users complain of merely the necessary surrender of "ego" as we learn to participate as members of a more evolved "collective organism" of "hyper-people?"

Folksonomy and the Folks.

Does the rise of the amateur lead to an unnecessary devaluation of the professional? Do collective online activities promote a new form of participatory democracy and the development of new and accurate folksonomies, or rather to they lead people to overestimate the value of their unconsidered posts and opinions? Do representative democracy,  academic disciplines and other seemingly elitist artifacts fall by the wayside?

Today many TV shows and advertisements try to look amateurish or "homegrown" to emulate what is often seen on the Web. Do you think professional production values will continue to drop, or do you think amateur user-generated content will get better over time? WHY??
