Wikileaks

Right to know is as important as the right to protect information since everything is not for everyone to know; and to let Wikileaks - a private organization, decide between universal and classified may be risky as we really don't know what does Wikileaks stand for - unless we blindly believe their stated purpose?

Is Wikileaks for the good of people or good for the enemies of governments?

Can Wikileaks help affect legislature that will help economies, create jobs, reduce crime and contain Muslim terrorism or is it just a sensational group parleying the reach of the Internet? Until that's determined we need to tread carefully on what we read and who we believe since we cannot stop what shows up online.

Books following Music

Amazon reported that last holiday season it sold more electronic books than traditional printed hardcovers.

Content creators are kings (finally and rightfully); and processors like printers, and middlemen like publishers, are a dying breed like old record and newspaper companies.

Music, News, Books are and will get more and more electronic and more and more disposable meaning great things for companies selling them as it reduces receiving, warehousing, shipping, returns, damage expenses which translate into lower real estate, payroll and logistics costs, and NO RETURNS add significantly to top and bottom line.

In this age of the CONTENT CREATOR what will happen to printers? They will go the way of video stores - out of business. Though thus far my experience of getting news online lacks the intimacy of reading the Sunday paper slowly savoring the story - browsing news online is like a quickie - hard, fast and laced with dissatisfaction.
