Today we talked about Jenkins and did a wrap up/review for Poster, also covering how the function of telephone has changed - probably would count towards the notion of shareware - and the involvement the public now has with the media.
Telephones were made to connect two parties. However, as time progressed, conference calls were enabled. Next, texting was invented (probably from the idea of a telegraph/letter)....Now everything in our lives guarantees instant gratification - google on the go, stay connected via facebook, get your emails outside of work etc.
I also thought about the Victoria's Secret fashion show that happened not too long ago. The audience gets to watch the elimination process of their search for the next Angel and down to the final 2, the public's input matters because "we" got to decide one of the girl's future. In fact, my roommate and I both voted via texting as well as through the website.
