This document discusses the evolution of media and industries from traditional frameworks to new models in the current era of Web 2.0 and social media. Specifically, it describes a shift from top-down hierarchies to more participatory and self-service models, where users take on entrepreneurial roles as cultural agents and workers have more autonomy. Key aspects of this new landscape include aggregation of user-generated content, social connections between individuals, and the blending of production and consumption into a collective intelligence.
