In some ways, no. In most ways yes.

Yes, for its ability to share information. But ability to read and cross check what was read did not keep pace.
Alas, it also has become a medium for those who wish to sow misinformation widely - either intentionally or maliciously.

Like fire. Much good possible and also used for great harm.

When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in the 15th century many people in power said it would bring about the downfall of civilization. The device has since been used to print a fair variety of things, from porn to bibles. I’m pretty sure we are still mostly civilized so the naysayers were not correct in this case.

The internet is no different, its use is an extension of the user, much like the printing press was and still is. Blaming the medium for the crap people put on it is just plain stupid.

History is important to teach us about the present. While the printing press was used to sow insurrection , hate, porn, and any number of bad things, the bible was the the most printed book throughout its history so it can go either way.

A new communication medium is neither good or bad. As always, it’s the people who use it that have those traits.

Not close to the greatest invention ever though - the Thermos. It keeps the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold. But how do it know?
