But talent is “the needle in today’s digital haystack”, says Keen. In a world without newspapers, publishing houses, film studios, radio and TV stations there’ll be nobody to discover and – no less important – to nurture talent

so would this guy be surprised to find that all but an infinitely small fraction of the room of monkeys' output would be gibberish? It's not like the web hasn't helped disseminate some truly amazing things. Take "Wizard People, Dear Reader" for instance. It's the first great work of the 21st century, and after Warner Bros. told theaters to stop showing it, you wouldn't have had a chance to see it if you hadn't been able to download the MP3s from a friend. Of course the internet is populated by mediocrity, but the true talents easily stand out.
