I mean, I'm the first one to shout about how the web is decentralizing all kind of things and blurring the line between media producers and media consumers, and to point out that this has massive ramifications for art, culture, news, academia, and just about any other field you can name. I just think the way TIME went about it was a boring, self-serving, Old Media way of desperately trying to grab a demographic that's slipping away from them. A better way for them to accomplish it, in other words, would be to name "Your Kids" as the Person of the Year. Because people who read TIME and need to have these things spelled out for them are NOT the people in the drivers' seat of the Information Age, whatever that is.
