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.
