Well painted picture of a specific example of a macro issue of our dawning noosphere. We want to be smart, connected to & making smart choices. And there are some reasons to be savvy, to learn and know differences and uses. And interesting theories and ideas aplenty to dig into.
That interest is gullible to or can be played or disrupted by over-excited neurons of the world brain; individuals and media sending strong signals or alarm. Often unduely loudly, disproportionately. Wrecking the noise floor.
I maintain more excitement than worry. This connectivity is so new. And so many people and agencies have only shown up lately, are not the aggressive infonauts. It's no surprise we are only beginning to figure out how we will sort and make sense of information. The torrent of news and revelation still ebbs at us, but eventually I hope and tend to believe we might emerge longer views, where information is only regarded as valuable when it has ongoing lineage & history, when it's expected to be updated & mutli-faceted information.
