Time Magazine Person of the Year — It's You

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the who-me? dept.

Thib writes to point out that Time Magazine has picked you — or us, or the Internet — as Person of the Year because you control the Information Age. From the article: "But look at 2006 through a different lens and you'll see another story, one that isn't about conflict or great men. It's a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes."

    How could Time pick such a self-absorbed, idiotic loser as Person of the Year?

      It's never been an honor, with the likes of Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden nominated or winning. I think Time finally noticed the atrocities of myspace users, in terms of damage to the internet not to mention each other.
