On Internet Now Mostly Composed of Fanboy Frothing for the Post-Literate iPad
Wait, though. I mean, people who want to create things aren't going to just not create anything anymore because of this toy. That seems grandiose. And the fact of the matter is that the large majority of people ARE passive consumers. And all for the better. Perhaps (certainly) it is a worldview created by a lifetime of privilege and outsized self-esteem-reinforcement, but I am of an Elitist Belief that a lot of people DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY. I'm not entirely convinced that the MySpace-brand of shirtless-self-portraiture-as-life-story is actually adding any value to the world, and if anything it might be detracting. There is a lot of noise these days.
I'm not saying the iPad shouldn't have a camera. A camera would be FINE. I am just saying, creativity always finds its level, and not everything has to be hotwired to a Tumblr account for people's lives to have meaning.
