Quote
"Unlike other forms of media, which are basically one-way communications channels into the home, the Web is two-way," says Colleen Kehoe, a Georgia Tech researcher. "The average Web user in the future will be a producer of information as well as a consumer."
Congrats Colleen for that quote !

Cadeau pour ceux qui lisent jusqu'au bout :
Le mot de la fin revient à Confucius (traduit du mandarin):
« Lorsque tu fais quelque chose, sache que tu auras contre toi, ceux qui voulaient faire la même chose, ceux qui voulaient faire le contraire et l’immense majorité de ceux qui ne voulaient rien faire ».
