My torts professor would refer to
Life as the magazine for people who can't read and
Time as the magazine for people who can't think. His description continues to ring true with Time's
Person of the Year cop out. The Critique of the Year is by
Siva Vaidhyanathan:
User-generated content, whether via low-power radio or community blogs, only goes so far to fill the void. And if the subject of that content is "you," instead of "us," we gain nothing from the new medium.
We do ourselves a major disservice when we exaggerate the revolutionary power of ourselves as individuals. Narcissism may be good marketing. But it’s not good for humanity.
