I was struck also by the report above. I’ve said before I think the motivation for content co-creation, user content and all the rest, at least for an older age group, is to seek a return to a more moral period in our history. So new technology, old values.

What the Sunday Times records here is going a bit far of course but it does underline the fact that we need to understand change across a wide range of activity and values, which also goes back to something I’ve written on earlier, the need for the old guard in the IT industry to open up to new values.
