The Internet is a gateway to a flood of information, but it's a flood of decreasing reliability. Books, magazines and encyclopedias go through a lot of review by editors and peers before the public see them. The beauty of the Internet is that anyone can have a voice, but this can be at the expense of any review process. When we let a thousand flowers bloom, we get many dandelions.

I've read a lot of things that aren't true (in print), but I'm not arguing your point. |

I would agree with Man Meat's statement except I can't because it appears on the internet.
Yes, the internet is full of B.S. but also offers interesting insight, opinions and sometimes facts. The same can be said of any media. It's up to the user to determine its value. |
