Gutenberg galaxy lags behind the shapeless web world
January 28, 2008
“Billions of web sources” sounds abstract. “Billions of stars” sounds like a universe. John Naughton points out in his Observer article how the Gutenberg universe evolves into a much less-known and difficult to envision world of web. The web transformed the processes of thinking and knowledge-gathering in a rather more dramatic way then even the Gutenberg bible did, Naughton writes.
Alan Moore reacts to the Observer article on his Communities Dominate Brands blog, and raises new challenges to the understanding of the digital world. “The point is,” Moore writes, “that our once familiar analogue world, which we understood, no longer exists in our digital universe.”
