69. Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is
going away. Because the word “publishing”
means a cadre of professionals who are
taking on the incredible difficulty and
complexity and expense of making
something public.
That’s not a job anymore. That’s a
button.
Clay Shirky

70. There’s a button that says
“publish,”
and when you press it, it’s done.
