This is a good piece of text from Howies regarding the switch of power trends is moving to the open source community. HT: Jonny Baker – His Worship Trick 91 Series 2 

The naysayers said the internet wouldn’t change anything
But the cynics and the black clouds got it wrong

The power no longer rests with the individual
This is an open sourced collaborative new world

When they say phone a friend, they call you
When they ask the audience, you press the button

You are the wisdom of crowds
You are the community

The community has the imagination of millions
The lone inventor has just his to inspire him

It used to be that questions looked for answers
Now solutions go in search of questions

You will be the change in climate change
You will find a better set of words to go here

Tim Berners-Lee built the web
But it was you that gave it its purpose

Now you build encyclopedias
Blogs are the new newspapers

You are the television company
You are the media

You review the books, the films and the bands
You create the celebrity’s

You build the corporations
And yes, it scares them.

You are the power
You are the revolution

You are top dog now
The chief banana
