“The Internet does, as you say, provide opportunities to obtain information and an extremely wide variety of viewpoints. That’s a good in itself. But there is a downside. The downside is that you are so flooded with material that unless you have an understanding of the world that is sufficient to allow you to be selective, you can be drawn into completely crazed cocoons of wild interpretation.”
-Noam Chomsky
(What we say Goes, Metropolitan, 152)
