We are living in the age of free and vast knowledge and information that is readily accessible through the use of the internet. From my understanding, Brian Martin talks about how these sources came to be and how they are moderated in the world of technology that we live in right now.
According to Brian Martin, “The word “knowledge” suggests certainty, authoritativeness, even usefulness. It is a good thing to be knowledgeable. Yet much knowledge is quite limited, specific, parochial.” This part of the book certainly caught my eye, it seemingly describes what the era of technology has given us in terms of general information, yet most of the actual credible sources of the common and general types of information we usually come across the internet are as stated “limited, specific, parochial.”
