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?

Today, people around the world marched in the name of science. Back in 1969 we put a man on the moon, and in 2017 we're having to march in the name of science.This appears to be one giant leap backwards for mankind.

The age of the printing press coincided with the age of reason. Is the age of the internet the harbinger of an age of disinformation, alternative facts, and ignorance?

This post looks at that very possibility, and if so, is the future taking us backwards? Are we devolving as a species?
