Gin, Television, and Social Surplus 2
Clay Shirky: Gin, Television, and Social Software
“And television watching? Two hundred billion hours, in the U.S. alone, every year. Put another way, now that we have a unit, that’s 2,000 Wikipedia projects a year spent watching television.”
I found it hard to pull just a single quote of this piece out, it’s a quick read that just makes you start thinking. If the calculation of how much effort has gone into Wikipedia is even close, this is an amazing way to look at it.
My consumption to production ratio is so low it’s embarrassing.
