Andrei Codrescu, Art Lesson #1: Google Kills Creativity

[iizaeus]

This is unwise, pessimistic, anti-internet nonsense, not an "art lesson." Technology will supersede paper just as paper superseded the stone. I strongly believe creativity exist within the individual, not outside. The internet is more relevant to education and sociey than it is to art. However there are some remarkable sites like the Google Art Project or the Creators Project that allow unprivileged individuals like myself to observe and learn about historic and modern art.

The irony here is that this commentary is being distributed through a Google-owned website: YouTube.

@johneriutta So true. Codrescu is the master of ironies like this -- here he critiques Facebook, yet he has also complained about hitting Facebook's 5,000-friend ceiling.
