Fred Wil­son says it awfully well:

The digi­tal revo­lu­tion is making it har­der to hide stuff. And that has pro­found impli­ca­tions for society that we are just star­ting to rea­lize.

Back in Viet­nam, it was the nightly news broad­casts and the weekly news maga­zi­nes that brought home the horrors of war.

Today, the dig­tal camera has “outed” the atro­ci­ties of Abu Ghraib.

You can’t stop digi­tal content.

Amen. So stop worr­ying about con­tent. Start worr­ying about inte­llec­tual capi­tal.
AFTERTHOUGHT: To ans­wer the ques­tion in the com­ments, “But what do you do if you’re both bored AND lonely?“
–That means you’re pro­bably not ready to decide yet.
