Interesting short opinion article on the likely political impact of ‘generation remix’…

“Everyone over age 12 when YouTube launched in 2005 is now able to vote. What happens when — and this is inevitable — a generation completely comfortable with remix culture becomes a majority of the electorate, instead of the fringe youth? What happens when they start getting elected to office?”

I love the fact that Lovecraft was a pioneer of shared fictional world-making, and later became the ground-zero of remix culture because his works were allowed to fall into the public domain.
