If Steve Jobs has his way, the iPad should ultimately make blogs irrelevant and push bloggers into the unemployment line. Are we staring down controlled media outlets like we’re locked into Apple’s control of the App Store.
Wall Street Journal Tech reports on a discussion with Steve Jobs during an All Things Digital technology conference on Tuesday:
Asked about whether the iPad will be a savior for content creators, Mr. Jobs said: “I don’t want us to see us descend into a nation of bloggers…I think we need editorial oversight now more than ever. Anything we can do to help newspapers new ways of expression that will help them get paid, I am all for.“
I wonder what Steve is referring to when he says “…we need editorial oversight now more than ever.”
Over the past decades a lot has been changed, from the first colour TV to mobile phones, and from the internet to mind control devices. Of course, not everything has changed, especially the news papers sticking to their old traditions.
