Abstract

If the 20th century was marked by the rise of “certified professionals” produced by universities and technical schools, everything suggests that the 21th century will be marked by the rise of those who feel they do not need an official stamp from an accredited institution to proclaim its competition and desire to create. These new “professional amateurs”, the “proams”, passionate, fans, potentiated by technology and interconnected, are reshaping business, politics, science and culture; to the point of solving a historical scarcity of professional resources in all areas (including multimedia translation).
