The greater invention, the printing press or the internet?

Books bring knowledge from one subjective voice, therefore lacking objective credence.

The internet, however, produces all subjective opinions in one place so that we can get the whole picture and get a bit closer to objective reasoning. Also, the ramifications of the internet have not yet been reached as it's a very young technology. Look at the bigger picture, guys.

On another thread Santa is being blamed for the economic slavery of the human race and childrens mental heath is being brought into question. God bless the internet!

I might print that on a card

The internet did not invent delusion; society did. The internet may perhaps be the cure for that.

It's kind of like blowing a sail with a fan don't you think? Cancel itself out unless one or the other grows larger .A double edged sword? It seems for every bit of real info on the net there's a matching amount of bunk.

Yeah.. You're probably right. Except for every piece of truth there's 10,000 lies. Meh, might as well be optimistic about it.

Too true

Considering the misinformation people pass over ATS from the internet, I will go with the printing press.

They are on the same level, the printing press was the internet of it's time.
