In class, we talked about how accessible the web is now. But I disagree- there is still an elitist element to it. Ironically, I've learned that while helping with this class. I can't format the course concepts correctly on this blog! This is interesting since I taught myself HTML! Ok, that was back in high-school, but please! The code I found shouldn't look like a complete foreign language. And yet... I still can't get the clickable table to work. So making web sites/content isn't as simple as the class, and the video example seemed to suggest. Web programmers and site masters will still be around!
But it is interesting that people feel more comfortable posting on the internet. In my opinion, it's an evolution because it seems kind of unavoidable. The internet made billionaires out of normal people, so it makes sense that it would become the forum for and by the people at some point. With all of the content (and some rubbish) out there, a need might arise for more content moderators. Does the Wikipedia style of public moderation work? Well, let me put it to you this way: We still can't list it as an academic resource in papers!
