THE INTERNET AND INFORMATION

THE POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES

Throughout history, information has always been a tricky thing to handle.
When Gutenberg was a German blacksmith, goldsmith, inventor, printer, and publisher who introduced printing to Europe with the printing press. His introduction of mechanical movable type printing to Europe started the Printing Revolution and is regarded as a milestone of the second millennium, ushering in the modern period of human history.^[3] It played a key role in the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific revolution and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses.<sup>[4]( Copied from Wikipedia)

The internet has likewise revolutionized the availability and dissemination of information. Anyone
can post anything they want to the internet, right or wrong, good or bad, insightful or not.

My point is  the importance of "filtering" for ourselves what content we attend to and that which we 
do not.</sup>
