Today, we are able to publish anything we want on to the Internet for the public. It is fast, easy, and convenient. We are able to attract a wide audience for barely any cost. It also removes the barrier between amateur and professionals, we are able to publish anything we want and the audience decides what they want to read or find as valuable. Shirky says people post things for the public because of two types of motivations, intrinsic and extrinsic. I believe that most people post or do things for intrinsic reasons more so than extrinsic. Like the story about the Korean boy band, DBSK, where they were able to gather young girls to protest. Those girls who went to protest did it through intrinsic motivations, to satisfy both their personal and social motivations, to be connected with the rest of the people; there were no extrinsic motivations involved. Similar to how people who create organizations and charities to help people/animal in need, they all do it to help out and for a good cause. Facebook is also a good example of intrinsic motivation. Everyone puts up his or her information for free. Therefore when the barriers are removed, people will automatically post and publish articles just for their own personal and social motives. However if an external motivation was involved, it can remove the likelihood of intrinsic motivations. I agree on this assumption because if people start paying people to do what they usually do for free and when they stop paying, people would be less likely to be doing it anymore for free. I believe that people become so accustomed to doing it for extrinsic reasons that doing it for free just wouldn’t give them the same satisfaction anymore. But either it is for intrinsic or extrinsic reason, the creation of publishing things onto the Internet has created a huge change in our society.
