...Just about everything changed in movies, in their content and their conduits to the audience. Yet Valenti, as the industry's chief lobbyist (his employers were the six major studios), made sure that business proceeded as usual, without federal interference or oversight.

Only the social encyclopedia Wikipedia shows a significant amount of participation, with 4.56% of visits to the site resulting in content editing...
...With age comes experience, as well as the desire to disseminate knowledge. There is a clear age difference between visitors to Wikipedia and editors of its content. Over 45% of visitors to the site are under the age of 35, while 82% of those making edits to the site are 35 years old or older...
