A great article from Jaron Lanier. I will discuss it more fully in my blog (http://community.brighton.ac.uk/jd29/weblog/) but it raises some very important issues that I agree with and that mirror much of what I have been writing about for the past couple of years, but comes to some conclusions that I am not so sure about. Thought provoking stuff.
