In his book, "Amusing Ourselves to Death," Neil Postman suggests that the age of the printing press coincided with the age of reason.
The Internet is perhaps the invention that most closely parallels the invention of the printing press. But, unfortunately the Internet appears to be working paradoxically to the development of knowledge.
Is the age of the internet the harbinger of an age of disinformation, alternative facts, and ignorance?
Is it possible that the Internet could cause our cognitive devolution as a species?
