Douglas Rushkoff » Life Inc. Movies Books Life Inc. How Corporatism Conquered the World,and How We Can Take It Back This didn't just happen. In Life Inc., award-winning writer, documentary filmmaker, and scholar Douglas Rushkoff traces how corporations went from a convenient legal fiction to the dominant fact of contemporary life. Indeed as Rushkoff shows, most Americans have so willingly adopted the values of corporations that they're no longer even aware of it. This fascinating journey reveals the roots of our debacle, from the late Middle Ages to today. Most of all, Life Inc. shows how the current financial crisis is actually an opportunity to reverse this 600-year-old trend, and to begin to create, invest and transact directly rather than outsourcing all this activity to institutions that exist solely for their own sakes. Corporatism didn't evolve naturally. Taking on some of the biggest assumptions of our age, this is a book filled with dangerous ideas and rather unspeakable heresies: Life Inc. Life Inc. Life Inc.

Media Commentary — Callie Schweitzer How We Internet: Finding the right news among too many options: The days of waiting for the newspaper thud outside the front door are over, and it’s no longer up to the editors of the New York Times to decide the lead story of the day. The process of getting news involves more choice than ever. Q&A with USC Annenberg on the future of news: I think we’re seeing the most incredible and exciting time in journalistic history. You are what you share: The internet is supposed to be a place where everyone can be themselves and find like-minded people. Making people proud of what they share: Social media has given us a new lens into the lives of the people we get our news from, which allows the individual to stand alone.

Freemium A free product where extra features require payment In the freemium business model, business tiers start with a "free" tier. Freemium, a portmanteau of the words "free" and "premium," is a pricing strategy by which a basic product or service is provided free of charge, but money (a premium) is charged for additional features, services, or virtual (online) or physical (offline) goods that expand the functionality of the free version of the software.[1][2] This business model has been used in the software industry since the 1980s. Origin[edit] Give your service away for free, possibly ad supported but maybe not, acquire a lot of customers very efficiently through word of mouth, referral networks, organic search marketing, etc., then offer premium priced value added services or an enhanced version of your service to your customer base. Jarid Lukin of Alacra, one of Wilson's portfolio companies, then suggested the term "freemium" for this model. Types of product limitations[edit] See also[edit]
Zoupic Ce WordPress, c’est une énorme libération, d’une flexion à une extension totale de tous mes membres dans l’espace (bien que j’ai le genou dans le chou). C’est une libération des membres, de l’esprit et des mots. Des mots car ceci n’est pas écrit chez over-blog, partenaire de TF1 media, des mots libres qui viennent d’un logiciel libre avec des plug-ins libres chez un hébergeur(1&1) pas tout à fait libre, mais on en reparlera. Des membres car ici je peux installer ce que je veux, tout configurer à ma manière, c’est chez moi, je n’habite plus au zoupic rue overblog.com mais au zoupic via WordPress chez zoupic.com (chez l’hébergeur pas tout à fait libre). Une caractéristique de notre monde de son origine à nos jours, du soleil à l’atome ce sont les flux. Les flux. Comme le circuit de l’eau. le cycle de l’information par zoupic Des chaînes, des cycles, des états différents et toujours des échanges. Nous ne sommes en somme qu’une somme de flux : IN & OUT J’inspire, j’expire. je bois, je pisse.
