I think I agree that access to the internet as a means of decentralization to a degree mitigates the need to capitalize on the production and dissemination of history. I wonder, however, if instead of money, the new currency needed to do this is time? It takes time to conduct research, craft it into content, and then to produce it in whatever model you see fit. Might this be a complication for some seeking to enter the public history arena? I'd be interested in your thoughts on this.

Hmmm. How else to conjur up time except by freeing up some of it with other people's money?
Really, if there's another way to "make" time, I'm all ears.
I think you will still need other people's money to create time. However, it seems to take less money in order to secure the resources or access to means of production than before. Therefore people who wish to produce content in the cultural sector still have to find time or start early in order to produce something, but it is easier than before to put content out there once it is produced.
