Comment on The Madness of Crowds or the Brilliance of the Billion? by Lawrence

I would have to agree with Lanier’s book (assuming the Time’s review is correct) about the glorification of the open-source world at the expense of closed systems. I believe that the open-source ideology is more of a mirror of the current political\social climate change morphing its way through developed nations. It is a “youth-in-revolt” of status-quo business models based on closed systems – if it is closed it must be bad. This ideology is so often ingrained in many members of the IT community that when discussion of closed systems come up (Microsoft anyone?) the conversation is closed. …yet I must say that I am always surprised when many members of said IT group leave with their iPods and/or iPhones… A hybrid approach to problem solving would probably provide the most benefit; although, I have no data to backup my opinion.
