The Internet Age?

I was going to post what Spuuky said - we are becoming increasingly encouraged to create and share our own content, whether it takes the form of a short film, blog post, podcast, photo essay, etsy store or even just an "inspired tweet". On one hand that sort of access is incredibly empowering, but on the other hand there is the risk of narcissism and the need for validation taking precedent over privacy and quality control.
