"[...] Perché una volta che avete cominciato, [...] non c’è nessuna ragione che vi fermiate. Il passo tra la realtà che viene fotografata in quanto ci appare bella e la realtà che ci appare bella in quanto è stata fotografata, è brevissimo. [...] Basta che cominciate a dire di qualcosa: «Ah che bello, bisognerebbe proprio fotografarlo!» e già siete sul terreno di chi pensa che tutto ciò che non è fotografato è perduto, che è come se non fosse esistito, e che quindi per vivere veramente bisogna fotografare quanto più si può, e per fotografare quanto più si può bisogna: o vivere in modo quanto più fotografabile possibile, oppure considerare fotografabile ogni momento della propria vita .

As Altbach (2001, pg 3) expresses, the publishing industry faces three core problems in making information available to the public. The first is the "physical contraints" - the costs and technology needed to run the business and produce something (which, before digital media, usually had to tangible). The "complexity of creative and scholarly networks" means the publishing industry's ongoing struggle to excavate and discover "new talent" and subject matter, connect and build relationships with clients and judge and sell content. Finally, "social conditions" have a significant impact on the publishing industry, as this directly affects the public's ability to access information. But according to Shirky, these difficulties, complexities and expenses have stopped being a problem, thus dismantling the publishing industry. In short, digital and networked media may have made a publishing industry redundant.
