3. ALLY (CONT'D) User generated histories privilege grass-roots ideals and champion the individual’s Contribution to history in the participatory culture of web 2.0. What we see is a rich tapestry of un-interpreted, often schizophrenic historical data emerging. At the same time. NAY WRRS! MIL WRRS! MIL (CONT’D) So basically it’s a mashup between web 2.0 And history 2.0? ALLY More or less... MIL So what’s the end result? ALLY Well, because it’s so persistent, unregulated and un-interpreted, the answers are largely inconclusive. NAY Like our film. MIL LOL! ALLY It tends to generate more questions than it does answers! NAY Like our film. ALLY There is also a permanence to material generated.
