I don't WANT to like Douglas Adams...
...as it makes me a geek. But goddamnit the man is intelligent.
I have to read loads of crap about social media (work in advertising) and I get angry with people who think social networking is anything new.
What this made me think of, though, is the whole thing about entertainment. You read old novels, and after dinner parties the guests all do "acts" or performances to entertain each other. And now we have YouTube, B3ta, and any other number of things where people are again entertaining each other, rather than just using mass-produced entertainment.
Awesome link.
