Say goodbye to the information age: its all about reputation now

[HeartachesNhangovers]

1. It's true. The most "amazing" thing about the internet

isn't how much information we have at our fingertips, but rather how almost everyone I'm in e-contact with reads the same limited number of articles and opinion pieces and sees the same videos, gifs, etc. If someone asks me, "Did you see that article about blah, blah, blah, yesterday?" The answer is probably, "Yes, I did." (against all odds since there were probably millions of articles published yesterday).

The worst part, as this article suggests, is how so many people will entirely dismiss any thought or opinion, without considering it critically, simply based on where is was published or who produced it. I see it every day here on DU.
