Let Dinosaurs Die Deluded

You’re a dinosaur and people like watching you die.

Joey Alarilla proposes a great way to deal with dinosaurs: let them die in their delusions. I agree: at least they’ll die happy.

So let the dinosaurs make believe they still rule the earth, while you, the one who matters most, the one that relic Time magazine declared Person of the Year in 2006, blog away; create your own videos and upload them; nurture thriving communities; and express your opinions online. And drive another nail in the coffin of those who refuse to change.

You know the truth, the truth that those clinging to their privileged positions are still trying to deny. The power no longer resides with the rich and powerful of Old Media.

It is back where it truly belongs, where it has aways belonged. In the people. In you.

Of course, sometimes you don’t want a dinosaur to die happy. Sometimes you just want to violently slaughter it.

After the fall of TV and the rise of social news, the only way my kids will know about CNN is through Wikipedia.
