“Journalists have lost control of the story”: Twitter, tech bubbles, and the nostalgia of the technology press » Nieman Journalism Lab » Pushing to the Future of Journalism

Editor’s Note : I’m very happy to welcome Tim Carmody — who you may know from Snarkmarket , kottke.org , Wired.com , Twitter , or elsewhere — as a contributor to the Lab. Here he looks at how the increasing speed of media opens us to manipulation — and false nostalgia. There’s nothing new about speculation bubbles, especially in the technology industry. It’s nearly impossible to be certain which new ideas or products will be able to do what they’re supposed to be able to — let alone whether they’ll be able to do so at cost or scale, if they’ll be adopted by the market, or if a competitor will get there first and better. And when everything’s happening quickly and everything seems exciting, it’s nearly impossible to tell a bubble from a real boom.
