Remember when we thought that the internet was going to be a wonderful thing for the advancement of human knowledge instead of the Library of Babel, with Hitler as the librarian?

I do sadly. And, in quiet moments, I interrogate my part, as a Principal Consultant for a very large international IT services company in the mid nineties, cheerleading for the fabulous future we were going to have with the sum of human knowledge freely on tap. I made the gross error of assuming people were good and kind and honest, like me.

I think it depends on how you use it and who you depend on for the archiving of the knowledge / footage / art.

If all The Internet someone sees is Twitter and Instagram, then yeah, I can see why you would call it the Library of Babel with Hitler as the librarian.

But for those who are publishing their own blogs and sharing files so that art made for human entertainment remains preserved it can be a slightly different experience.
