Theres really two sides to this, one where the positive is that information is no longer closed and flows freely and the other is that negative information about other people flows so fast and wide that it cannot be fathomed.
Its an interesting feeling because its really similar to dystopian notions such as the Giver where too much of a good thing easily turns bad.
