  7. 7. Will Web 2.0 deliver? Keen presents a dystopian vision in which people endlessly Google themselves and expertise counts for nothing; online communities gather merely to confirm their own prejudices; internet television purports to showcase amateur talent but is dominated by corporate marketing; newspapers are driven to the wall by online advertising and news sites edited at the whimsical click of a mouse; and knowledge of history and literature becomes smothered by an avalanche of blogs from self-obsessed teenagers. From a review of The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet Is Killing Our Culture and Assaulting Our Economy by Andrew Keen, June 2007 http://media.guardian.co.uk/newmedia/story/0,,2068929,00.html
