Quick Q’s. User generated

ALLY
....In Direct contrast to history
1.0, where only those with
authority had the ability to
publish histories.

ALLY (CONT'D)
User generated histories
privilege grass-roots ideals and
champion the individual’s
Contribution to history in the
participatory culture of web 2.0.
What we see is a rich tapestry of
un-interpreted, often
schizophrenic historical data
emerging.

At the same time.

NAY
WRRS!

MIL
WRRS!

MIL (CONT’D)
So basically it’s a mashup
between web 2.0 And history 2.0?

ALLY
More or less...

MIL
So what’s the end result?

ALLY
Well, because it’s so persistent,
unregulated and un-interpreted,
the answers are largely
inconclusive.

NAY
Like our film.

MIL
LOL!

ALLY
It tends to generate more
questions than it does answers!

NAY
Like our film.

ALLY
There is also a permanence to
material generated.
