Hello avid blog followers,
The 'Consumer to Producer' argument is a very interesting concept. With advancing of the web technologies and the bring about of WEB 2.0 tools, people who were only browsing the internet for information (consumers) are now writing, publishing, and collaborating on the internet using technologies like blogs, wikis, Youtube, and slideshare. Some arising issues are ethics, privacy and copyright of the content already available online and you may not be able to 'just use'.
People (consumers) have personal ethics about how they view themselves. They should consider this when they are for example posting things on blogs; maybe one's belief is offensive to someone else. People's privacy can also be endangered online; your internet service provider can see the websites you have been to and control what you are able to browse. That is not real privacy...!
It is great that consumers are now producers, but we have to weight the good and bad for each before deciding if for example we want to own a blog :)
