The internet bubble marked the end of the information revolution -- and the beginning of something much bigger, an age of personal media. It is a revolution we have been anticipating ever since McLuhan turned Media into a household word in the 1960s, but as typically happens, even this most anticipated of revolutions is arriving late, and in utterly unexpected ways. ^Media" is information that has gone deep into the structure of society, and the changes it is triggering go far beyond what we watch, create and pass around to friends. It also changes what we make, what we use and how we see the world and the challenges that surround us.
