What\u2019s the most significant journalism trend of 2012 so far?<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t a trend yet. I have one of the new iPads. For both my email and Twitter, I\u2019m able to talk into it and get speech to text (with Dragonfly voice-recognition software). It\u2019s become more and more efficacious, which is great and convenient. If you start to think \u2014 one of the only barriers of people publishing is people have to type. What if that goes away? Just a huge explosion. Instead of going on the phone and talking about prom night, we\u2019re either at or near a place where they can speak it in their phone and it\u2019ll appear in text. What if people don\u2019t have to type to get it into there? Does that make what we do more or less valuable? There\u2019s more for us to sift through. But we\u2019re the signal in the noise, and it\u2019ll make us more valuable. I\u2019m fairly democratic in my impulses. I don\u2019t want more crap out there, but I think the fact that I need to type my thoughts means I share less of them.<\/p>\n
