Michael Wesch, a professor of cultural anthropology, has become something of an internet phenomenon, having produced two wonderful videos that help demystify the world of Web 2.0. (Definitely check them out here and here). Now he has a new video getting some play. Below you can watch a talk he recently gave at The Library of Congress, where he uses video to dissect the new mediascape that we’re living in, and how it’s changing our relationships … for better or for worse.

Thanks for pointing this out. I think this video, in combination with Wesch’s earlier The Machine is Using Us and Information R/evolution, is a great learning package for anyone hoping to understand the implications of social media/Web2.0. — Jeff

I tested the video and it still seems to work. Try hitting refresh and it will probably be ok.
