2006, brought to you by you
I found this article in the A&E section of the New Yok Times, and I think it perfectly wraps up some of the content we've been learning about in this course.

The article is sarcastic in the beginning. I like when it says, "Imagine paying $580 million for an ever-expanding heap of personal ads, random photos, private blathering, demo recordings and comcorder video clips. That's what Rupert Murdoch did when his News Corporation bought MySpace in July."
The author is demeaning our culture in a way, mocking how ridiculous we are that because so much money is being invested in things like Myspace. When you think about it, that truly is the essence of Myspace. Is the author right in his conviction? What do you think?
