Technology, The Great Equalizer

from the Pop-Star dept

Technology can distribute information really well these days, almost too well. HDTVs provide so much detail that the perfect bodies of pop stars like Britney Spears can look, well, less than perfect. After a long night of partying, Britney looks a bit haggard in concert in high definition -- perhaps to the disappointment of some fans. Sometimes too much information is a bad thing. And other superstar musicians should keep their embarrassing life details to themselves or stick to just making music and not publishing their musical tastes. Apparently, Beyonce's iTunes playlist doesn't quite live up to superstar status.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
