Information R/evolution, by Mike Wesch

The following YouTube Video is part of an interesting and growing genre of animation / film projects centered on video anthropology. This particular short communicates a stinging commentary on libraries while extolling the virtues of the we.

While the "Hive Mind" and the intelligence of the "Group" are extolled there seems to be no counterpoint in his file of the "Ignorance of Mobs". In addition his entire search would have gone better if he would have asked a librarian. Enjoy the show.
