Clay Shirky's time management

I find that with the new information and ways that it can be used it is a very promising thing. I refer to myself as a very cynical person in the most part. But I actually can be a very hopefully person at times, and discovering all of these technologies has allowed me to be less of a cynical person. With all these technological advances that I have learned of in my technological class I am really enjoying the fact that anyone can write and distribute there opinions and ideas the ability to connect to any other person in the world. It is a scary and promising advancement. I find that the fact that the technology is now increasingly making it difficult for countries to censor and hide opinions and facts that run counter to what there governments try to portray. After listening to Clay Shriky’s talk, on time management in the internet era. I find it difficult to believe that Americans alone watch millions of hours of television. I know that I am guiltier of that than a lot of people. but at the same time it kind of disgusts me at the amount of time that I waste watch television when I can do something constructive or creative. Like maybe get a job and make some income so I can waste my money on something to keep me away from the television. That is why I read comics if you get the right series then you get inspiration to go and do something productive.
