MAKE’s News From the Future
by Kate RutterI love O’Reilly’s MAKE Magazine, because I love to tinker around with bits of things and make things blow up.
But I really love MAKE because the contents are about, by and for people who think about making, talk about making, make space to make and make it easier to make things. So when I read Pervasive Publishing (in News from the Future) by Tim O’Reilly in the latest issue, it struck a chord. Tim writes about reality, publishing, and Second Life:
“What is important about Second Life is not just its immersive quality. It’s the face that its members are active participants in creating it. They are makers, not consumers. That’s what is also important about the World Wide Web, Wikipedia, YouTube and Flickr.”
Long live making and makers!
