We're witnessing the shift from media consumer to media producer thanks to the internet and universal access to technological know-how. Creative end-users, adapting to the digital age, are producing works that cohesively build community beyond geopolitical space. Virtual space is a radicalizing area, and experiencing it has already altered human society permanently. For too long the meme space has been only flowing in one direction, it has remained the tool of the few to broadcast to the many. Now, tools such as blogs, podcasts, and video are allowing individuals to redress the imbalance between their media intake and output. The character of the discourse changes as well, to reflect the concerns of these individuals rather than those of the corporate-owned media conglomerates.
