Person of the Year: You
Yes, you. You control the Information Age.
Welcome to your 2.0 world.
And we didn’t just watch, we also worked. Like crazy. We made Facebook profiles and Second Life avatars and reviewed books at Amazon and recorded podcasts. We blogged about anything and wrote songs about getting dumped. We camcordered bombing runs and built open-source software.

Andy has a congenital growth-hormone condition that gives him the outward appearance and voice of a pre-adolescent boy, when he is in fact a grown man. Contrary to popular belief, Milonakis was not the Man Show Boy, a smart-mouthed boy who frequently appeared on The Man Show.</p>
