Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable « Clay Shirky

Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable « Clay Shirky

Sure sounds scary, the demise of the newspaper, publishing and large social structures that have been in place hundreds of years. The idea that the a revolutionary has no idea where things are going was new for me when reading this. Naive I guess, but I always assumed the Jacobean's and the Minutemen new exactly where they were going, because they had no idea. The new "what" they were doing ! To hasten the dismantling of established social structures and past cultural practices.

Homes: About to get much cheaper - Oct. 20, 2009

There are just too many folks having trouble paying the mortgage. Banks are helping who they can while they can with modifications, but half of the mods end up not even making the first reduced payment on time. After all these loans are processed I think they will focus on pushing out the foreclosures that they have on the books.
