From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“There are two ways to be wrong about the Internet. One is to embrace cyber-utopianism and treat the Internet as inherently democratizing. Just leave it alone, the argument goes, and the Internet will destroy dictatorships, undermine religious fundamentalism, and make up for failures of institutions. Another, more insidious way is to succumb to Internet-centrism.”
— Evgeny Morozov[1]
