Crichton, the media guru

Refresshing read, this article by bestselling author Michael Crichton on the future of the American media ... especially the part about the media being part of society's problems or the big ego's of self-indulged media personalities ... which reminds me somewhat of the attitude problems even our tv journalists seem to develop.

The amazing thing however is that this 'Mediasaurus' essay was written in an issue of Wired in the fall of ... 1993.

Entertaining read from a visionary proclaiming the death of traditional media long before we even had a widescale Internet.
