Self-reflexivity

When media turns its attention on itself the results can often be pretentious. Hopefully we're going to avoid that this week. I've found a couple of interesting pieces about the Web 2.0 phenomenon on also about video the web. I'm hoping this will be of interest to you as well...since you're here watching some video on the web.

The first is a talk that Al Gore gave in the days following the election at the 2008 Web 2.0 summit.



The second video is a lecture given by Silicon Valley exec Peter Hirschberg, who looks at how the Internet is naturally supplanting TV as the medium of the masses.
