One problem with the Internet is that while it gives us access to a lot of information it does not necessarily filter for us information by quality.

This phrase has reminded me of something that I think Umberto Eco said about the fact that Social Networks on the Internet had given greater visibility and democratized a lot of idiots.

I do not believe that this author was absolutely against the Networks, but if I accept that with the "liberal economy of ideas" came a certain production and dissemination of opinions and ideas of very doubtful quality or reliability, that is what I think is refers when he calls idiots to those who generate these things and cause noises in the flow of knowledge...
