As the line between creator and audience becomes more and more muddled, that is to say, cooperative and indistinct, is there some singularity out there where creator and consumer become indistinguishable from one another?

What would that look like?

Or is the participatory culture a fad? Is the much-heralded “conversation” a real thing, or merely an extension of normal human communication?

But, of course, how does one define “normal human” in any scenario, let alone one of language, something hardly definable as it is?

Anyway, just a question posed to the aether, I guess. I’ve been able to find little discussion on this subject — real, contemplative consideration of where this is going, that is.

A thought: If I’m writing this post, now, with the intent of conversation, and the assumption of readership–and I wouldn’t write it in absence of these–are you not just as necessary a part of this discussion as I am? So even in this incredibly “traditional” sense, where is the line between creator and consumer, if we’re both seemingly equal participants?

Maybe I just need to sleep more.
