#6 Henryyyyyyy JJJJJJenkins!!

      The main thing that Henry Jenkins talk s about is media convergence.  He starts by telling a story about a high school kid making photo's titled "Bert is Evil," all of which have Bert from Sesame street in "evil" situations.  Long story short the images of Bert with Osama Binladen end up creating quite the controversy. This is when Jenkins begins to talk about his first topic, convergence.  Jenkins starts out with this, "convergence represents a cultural shift as consumers are encouraged to seek out new information and make connections among dispersed media content" (Jenkins 3).  He continues to go over convergence and further explains what convergence is and the different aspects of it with a couple of examples while still relating back to "Bert is Evil" when needed.
      Jenkins relates to Weinberger in a couple of ways. It seemed like a lot of stuff that Jenkins was saying related to Web 2.0. Weinberger has a similar view of Web 2.0 in that its information is infinite and there are tons of different ways of seeing or obtaining that information.  Also how anyone can publish what ever they would like to on the web.  Jenkin's discusses social networking sites and schools and I highly agree that these things should be okay in schools and possibly one day even taught in schools. The working world is beginning to use these tools more and more and the knowledge of how to use them at an early age can only help.
      The last thing that I noticed is that Jenkins and Weinberger both notice different things about the web and its infinite amount of information. Weinberger focuses more on how all the info on the web is organized and "tagged." While Jenkins sees people taking parts of that information and changing it to their liking. But in the end Jenkins views users as less in control of that info and Weinberger sees them as having almost total control.
