In perfect proportion to the idiot/intelligent person ratio. The early internet wasn't so much idealistic, as it was only highly educated people having access to it. It takes having lived pre-internet pre-google to appreciate that in the past, most dinner conversations revolved around arguing shit we can now google in 2 seconds. There is much good information - is there much freedom/resource to take advantage of it is another question.
