I discovered this documentary this morning and I had to share , there is so much to think about .
The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, with unlimited opportunities.

The idea that technology can be both a blessing and a curse is familiar territory, but hearing it from people whose livelihoods both depend on and are threatened by that dichotomy—well-heeled Moby notwithstanding—is a welcome reminder that it’s not just an abstract talking point. It’s the way we live now, artist, enthusiast, or other
