I picked up the wired issue recently and the thing that struck me about all the related "remix" articles was their overwhelmingly positive tone. Nary a negative aspect was attached to this phenomenon.
When we have a culture that continually recombines itself without providing new grist for the mill I fear that the cultural soup will get thinner and thinner and more unpalatable.
Is the future destined to just be about remixing the remixes?
