Any conversation that involves the future of information must discuss the future of the Internet for information in itself is nothing. It is the sharing of information or the lack there of which gives information its power. Information has been controlled and coveted by different groups since the time of the Pharos. So where does that leave us? I think that we´re on the cusp of a new age. One which may or may not be so bright, informationally speaking. Does the net provide us with freedom of information or just a system of control? Just who are the gatekeepers of the World Wide Web and how much control do they exercise over what we can access? One could probably write a book on the subject or, at least a good screen play. As for me I will continue to use the tools and skill acquired in this class to enhance my research and writings and maybe, someday answer some of my own questions.
