Michael Renov's ideas about the death of the auto biography seem to follow in the same vein of Bruss's with the idea of internet archiving and blogging. His idea of a mass produced auto biography sets, premade blog pages and web rings producing multi user/creater biographies fits well with the idea that films cannot be made by a singular person. His arguements, while on the surface may seem logical, dig at a population who are carried by thier comsumer background into purchasing kits and using pre-designed layouts. He seems to ignore the idea that the act of creating an autobiography is piggy-backing of someone else's idea, therefore whether mentioned or not, the person who first wrote an autobiography must recieve some credit in an autobiography written in modern day. If you want to get down to brass tacks where is the special thanks to the person who crafted an autobiograoher's pencil or typewriter. Renov's article, like Bruss' predates an age of You-Tube and a small technology minded population that has the capabilities to produce their own pages and films that are posted on the internet. An internet that may have been created by the Department of Defense but now exist in a free forming computer space mass, much like a large physical library that houses Benjamin Franklin's own leather bound autobiography.
