  <description><![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;This extraordinary book explains the engine that has catapulted the Internet from backwater to ubiquity—and reveals that it is sputtering precisely because of its runaway success. With the unwitting help of its users, the generative Internet is on a path to a lockdown, ending its cycle of innovation—and facilitating unsettling new kinds of control.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;IPods, iPhones, Xboxes, and TiVos represent the first wave of Internet-centered products that can’t be easily modified by anyone except their vendors or selected partners. These “tethered appliances” have already been used in remarkable but little-known ways: car GPS systems have been reconfigured at the demand of law enforcement to eavesdrop on the occupants at all times, and digital video recorders have been ordered to self-destruct thanks to a lawsuit against the manufacturer thousands of miles away. New Web 2.0 platforms like Google mash-ups and Facebook are rightly touted—but their applications can be similarly monitored and eliminated from a central source. As tethered appliances and applications eclipse the PC, the very nature of the Internet—its “generativity,” or innovative character—is at risk.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;The Internet’s current trajectory is one of lost opportunity. Its salvation, Zittrain argues, lies in the hands of its millions of users. Drawing on generative technologies like Wikipedia that have so far survived their own successes, this book shows how to develop new technologies and social structures that allow users to work creatively and collaboratively, participate in solutions, and become true “netizens.”&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; (20080725)]]></description>

New Web 2.0 platforms like Google mash-ups and Facebook are rightly touted—but their applications can be similarly monitored and eliminated from a central source.

With the unwitting help of its users, the generative Internet is on a path to a lockdown, ending its cycle of innovation—and facilitating unsettling new kinds of control.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;IPods, iPhones, Xboxes, and TiVos represent the first wave of Internet-centered products that can’t be easily modified by anyone except their vendors or selected partners. These “tethered appliances” have already been used in remarkable but little-known ways: car GPS systems have been reconfigured at the demand of law enforcement to eavesdrop on the occupants at all times, and digital video recorders have been ordered to self-destruct thanks to a lawsuit against the manufacturer thousands of miles away. New Web 2.0 platforms like Google mash-ups and Facebook are rightly touted—but their applications can be similarly monitored and eliminated from a central source. As tethered appliances and applications eclipse the PC, the very nature of the Internet—its “generativity,” or innovative character—is at risk.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;The Internet’s current trajectory is one of lost opportunity.

    <body><![CDATA[Fairly interesting premise - that the generative nature of the internet that is more or less responsible for its rise in popularity will eventually transform it into a non-generative system as people shy away from the security risks of generativity...if that makes any sense...unless it is stopped!

    <body><![CDATA[I read the first part of this book in e-book format, but really need to pick up a copy in paper. Zittrain's ideas about the direction of the internet and connected technology are very interesting and equally frightening. I look forward to reading this one and updating this review with more info. ]]></body>
