Clay Shirky has written a new book called Cognitive Surplus. He argues that thanks to the internet, more and more people are spending their free time collaborating and working on new creative and useful ventures rather than simply consuming content. One comparison he makes is the amount of television US adults watch and the amount of time needed to create something like, say, Wikipedia.
