How is open source media changing the ways people approach content?
Open source media is changing the way people approach content available through socio-technology. The majority of what is produced in today’s media come from a common based peer production with their own virtuous belief system. With this now being a factor of existence open source media, will be viewed from the producers perspective and the implemented into viewers character. This was better stated in the first line of the conclusion of “Commons-based Peer Production and Virtue”, “We have argued that participation in commons-based peer production fosters important moral and political virtues…here we have contributed additional reason to think that peer production is normatively attractive. For those who hold one of a broad range of conceptions of virtue, peer production can be said to provide a social context in which to act out, and a set of social practices through which to inculcate and develop, some quite basic human, social and political virtues.” The way content is approached on open source media depends on how the medium conveys their message of virtue; through open source media one can build good character as well as help other to form one.
However, since open source media allows the public to peer produce the content accessible; these kinds of wikis give trolls the advantage and satisfaction of forging information to sway the public’s understanding of a topic. Open source media has developed, some quite basic human, social and political virtues by and through public which is very inexpensive. This allow people to inspire one another and circulate their beliefs and virtues, inexpensively, sufficiency, and by mass numbers.
