Pardon my paraphrasing here, but the discussion is around comparing the impact of the automobile between 1900 and 1920 with what's happening with the Internet between 2000 - 2020. In the early 1900's, there were laws put into place that automobiles were to yield right of way to horse cariages. 30 years from now we'll be looking at our "privacy" with a smirk on our face. We'll have less of it, but the issues will resolve themselves and the newfound benefits will outweigh the negatives we focus on today. Heck, look what's happened to the written word with blogging over the past two years. People are much more "open" in what they put out there. Audio is simply the next step, with video to follow down the road. As all these technologies increasingly converge, we are beginning to see the "automobile" take shape like the farmers did back in 1904. I’m currently reading the book “Nine Shift”.

If I know that what I say in casual conversation might be "skyped" on-line, I don't know that I'd be interested in a conversation. Karen Schneider has been writing a lot about the concept of what is, and is not, public vis-a-vis blogs and conversation. Perhaps before declaring this the "new, great tool" some thought should go into the parameters of its use? What about privacy issues?

Lots of podcasters are doing that very thing. You need a piece of software to capture all the audio on your system. Some googling will probably turn something up for Windows.
