[This is a multi-stop time-travel journey. I’m writing this text, here within these brackets, on June 28th, 2008. I’m reprising a BloodhoundBlog post from September 15th, 2006, that in its turn reprises a PresenceOfMind.net post from September 14th, 2004, which in its turn is unearthing a rant I wrote in 1996.

That’s a disintermediation story by itself, and we’re about to nest ourselves two layers deeper in order to talk about massive, earth-shaking cases of media disintermediation. The argument made here parallels the one made earlier this week by Jim Cronin at The Real Estate Tomato<\/a>: The exponential growth of bandwidth increases the power of individuals at the expense of elites.<\/p>\n

But: I could just as easily argue the contrary: Feeding Dan Rather to the lions is exactly<\/i> what a Roman Emperor would do to sustain his power while seeming to placate the mob.<\/p>\n

That’s a larger question than I’m prepared to settle on a Friday night. Instead, we can think about the future of real estate while we revisit the history of radio. There’s quite a lot here that relates to weblogging, as well — which Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
