Inhibitors:
- Increasing copyright issues
- The increase of identities / creating accounts is unpractical for users
- Cost of broadband services
- Increasing complexity / overload of information
Paradigms:
1. Opinion is not longer a monopoly of the traditional mass-media outlets (newspapers, magazines, news channels, etc) but it is seriously quetioned by independent journalists
2. The content available on internet is not longer unmodifiable. Users can create, modify, share and comment on the content of internet pages. The net is becoming a display window to promote your own creations
3. Internet is not longer a space for getting information but a space to share experiences and opinions
4. Content is not something that is created by professionals. It can be created by everyone who is interested in a subject.
5. Content is not something static. It is dynamic and constantly changing.
