Maintenant que je participe au comité éditorial de La Jaune et la Rouge, je relis avec plus d'acuité les prédictions apocalyptiques de Tim Oren :
Some part of the media value chain is becoming collateral damage of the Internet, further accelerated by war and politics. Motivated by business opportunity, ideology, and just plain fun, the insurgents are gunning for the legacy media. The game is afoot!
En corollaire, Kevin Laws se penche sur l'économie des systèmes de distributions sans friction autre que les coûts de transaction.
Netflix, Napster, and even HBO have made businesses out of bundling content for a single monthly fee. This reduces the incremental monetary cost of each transaction to zero. Given that psychic costs had an impact at $3, in a world of zero incremental cost, they can dominate the transaction.

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana’s death.
Question: How come?
Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling) followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by an American, using Bill Gates’s technology, and you’re probably reading this on your computer, that use Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexican illegals…..
That, my friends, is Globalization
