Clay Shirky says that the history of the modern world could be rendered as the history of ways of arguing, where changes in media change what sort of arguments are possible.
His work also focuses on the rising usefulness of networks. Using technologies such as peer-to-peer sharing, wireless, software and open-source development. New technologies are enabling new kinds of cooperative structures to flourish as a way of getting things done in business, science, the arts and elsewhere.
Shirky's Quotes:
“We are in a world where most American citizens over the age of 12share things with each other online.”
“The more ideas there are in circulation, the more ideas there are for any individual to disagree with.More media always means more arguing.”
