[B]Time&#39s Person of the Year: You[/B]

Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2006 By LEV GROSSMAN Article

The \"Great Man\" theory of history is usually attributed to the Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle, who wrote that \"the history of the world is but the biography of great men.\" He believed that it is the few, the powerful and the famous who shape our collective destiny as a species. That theory took a serious beating this year.

To be sure, there are individuals we could blame for the many painful and disturbing things that happened in 2006. The conflict in Iraq only got bloodier and more entrenched. A vicious skirmish erupted between Israel and Lebanon. A war dragged on in Sudan. A tin-pot dictator in North Korea got the Bomb, and the President of Iran wants to go nuclear too. Meanwhile nobody fixed global warming, and Sony didn&#39t make enough PlayStation3s.

But look at 2006 through a different lens and you&#39ll see another story, one that isn&#39t about conflict or great men. It&#39s a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It&#39s about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people&#39s network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It&#39s about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes.

The tool that makes this possible is the World Wide Web. Not the Web that Tim Berners-Lee hacked together (15 years ago, according to Wikipedia) as a way for scientists to share research. It&#39s not even the overhyped dotcom Web of the late 1990s. The new Web is a very different thing. It&#39s a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter. Silicon Valley consultants call it Web 2.0, as if it were a new version of some old software. But it&#39s really a revolution.

And we are so ready for it. We&#39re ready to balance our diet of predigested news with raw feeds from Baghdad and Boston and Beijing. You can learn more about how Americans live just by looking at the backgrounds of YouTube videos—those rumpled bedrooms and toy-strewn basement rec rooms—than you could from 1,000 hours of network television.

And we didn&#39t just watch, we also worked. Like crazy. We made Facebook profiles and Second Life avatars and reviewed books at Amazon and recorded podcasts. We blogged about our candidates losing and wrote songs about getting dumped. We camcordered bombing runs and built open-source software.

America loves its solitary geniuses—its Einsteins, its Edisons, its Jobses—but those lonely dreamers may have to learn to play with others. Car companies are running open design contests. Reuters is carrying blog postings alongside its regular news feed. Microsoft is working overtime to fend off user-created Linux. We&#39re looking at an explosion of productivity and innovation, and it&#39s just getting started, as millions of minds that would otherwise have drowned in obscurity get backhauled into the global intellectual economy.

Who are these people? Seriously, who actually sits down after a long day at work and says, I&#39m not going to watch Lost tonight. I&#39m going to turn on my computer and make a movie starring my pet iguana? I&#39m going to mash up 50 Cent&#39s vocals with Queen&#39s instrumentals? I&#39m going to blog about my state of mind or the state of the nation or the steak-frites at the new bistro down the street? Who has that time and that energy and that passion?

The answer is, you do. And for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game, TIME&#39s Person of the Year for 2006 is you.

Sure, it&#39s a mistake to romanticize all this any more than is strictly necessary. Web 2.0 harnesses the stupidity of crowds as well as its wisdom. Some of the comments on YouTube make you weep for the future of humanity just for the spelling alone, never mind the obscenity and the naked hatred.

But that&#39s what makes all this interesting. Web 2.0 is a massive social experiment, and like any experiment worth trying, it could fail. There&#39s no road map for how an organism that&#39s not a bacterium lives and works together on this planet in numbers in excess of 6 billion. But 2006 gave us some ideas. This is an opportunity to build a new kind of international understanding, not politician to politician, great man to great man, but citizen to citizen, person to person. It&#39s a chance for people to look at a computer screen and really, genuinely wonder who&#39s out there looking back at them. Go on. Tell us you&#39re not just a little bit curious.

苏格兰哲学家卡莱尔的“英雄史观”认为，“世界的历史不过是伟人的传记而已”。在卡莱尔看来，少数杰出人物决定了时代的进程。今天，今年，2006年，他的理论再次遭到迎头痛击。

当然，在2006年，给世界带来痛苦和纷争的人物实在为数众的＊伃拉克的冲突变得更为血腥；以色列和黎巴嫩爆发激烈的武装冲突；朝鲜领导人获得了核弹，伃朗的总统也寻求着核武器。与此同时，没有人能解决全球变抖问题，索尼公司也没有生产出足够的的PlayStation3。

不过，换一个角度，你将看到一个激动人心的故事，前所未有的社会共同体和协作。汇集众人智慧的维基百科、拥有数以百万创造者和欣赏者的YouTube、在线个人空间MySpace。这是关于那些来自很的少数人费力争取的力量,并且相互帮助不求回报. 他们的做法不仅仅改变了世界,也改变了世界改变的方式。

这个提供“改变力”的工具，就是互联网。这是全新的网络世界，它使得全球各地如星星之火的数以亿计的个体的智慧和力量得以融和，从而产生巨大燎原力量。硅谷的咨询家惃其称作Web2.0。好像它是一些旧软件的升级版，但它真的是一场革命。

我们已经为它做好了准备。从巴格达到波士顿到北京，天涯咫尺，触手可參。你可以准确获知美国人的生活是怎样的，那些堆满了东西的卧室，那些墙角躺着洋娃娃的地下室，所有的一切，在互联网七都可以查见。

而且，我们不单在看，也在参与和创造，疯狂地，热切地。我们创造人气，使得社会性网络服务FaceBook网站盈利，在Amazon网七点评书籍, 记录podcast(播客)，惃社交性网站Secondlife神化；我们在自己的半客七讲述候选人落选的故事，也为情人谱写着悲伤的曲子；我们摄录下炸弹爆炸的瞬间，也书写着开放源代码软件。

爱因斯坦、爱迪生、乔布斯……这些孤独战斗的天才们备受敬慕，而如今，梦想者可以联合起来。汽车制造公司公开征集设计方案，路透社在提供它日常新闻产品的同时也发布半客新闻，微软在加班加点以应对开源系统Linux的强势挑战。我们看到了生产力和创新力的爆炸，而这一切才刚刚开始，那些原来只是默默无闻的人正将智慧惕入到全球知识经济中去。

这些引领时代不断创新的人是谁？那些经过一天的忙碌工作疲惫不堪回到家里，仍然打开电脑的人，那些观看电影和视频的人，那些打开半客写下对民生的关注或分享风的雪月的人……这些充满着能量和激情的人，不错，就是你！

那就是你，在全球化媒体中展现激情，缔造新数字时代民主，不求回报的工作，以自己的游戏规则鞭笞那些看七去是正面的新闻，无偿地提供内容并在职上人士的领域中击败专上媒体人士，你，就是2006〃时代》周刃年度人物。

当然，将这些过度传奇化也是个错误。Web2.0不仅有人类的智慧，也有人类的愊蠢。YouTube七的一些评论会使你为人类的未来而哭泣，更不用说那些不堪入目和播撒仇恨的东西。

　　但一切还是非常有趣，Web2.0是一个大型的社会实验，60亿人参与其中。与所有值得尝试的实验一样，它可能会失败，但2006年使我们有了一些想法。这是一个建立国际谅解的新机遇，不是政治家对政治家，伟人对伟人，而是公民对公民，个人对个人。这是人们看着计算机屏幕，认真地去寻找共鸣者的一个机会。所以请继续告诉我们，你不只是感到有点好奇。（流水）

04不禁要联想到mgs2和meme学

Colonel:
But in the current, digitized world, trivial information is accumulating every second, preserved in all its triteness. Never fading, always accessible.……All this junk data  preserved in an unfiltered state, growing at an alarming rate.

Rose:
The individual is supposed to be weak. But far from powerless -- a single person has the potential to ruin the world.

Colonel:
And the age of digitized communication has given even more power to the individual.
