The original assumption was that this data super highway would transfer the truth and facts.
But it turns out because anyone can distribute any falsehood, people instead are able to find things to reinforce their existing opinion, instead of the truth. The biggest strength of the modern day internet is also what will ultimately be its downfall I believe. The next kind of web will definitely be different.
