Technology -- Information junk

The information explosion causes a flood of junk. Historically new media, beginning with cave drawings, have largest initial use in pornography,and the web is no exception.

I believe that after the technology settles, cave drawings, printed books, movies, and the web, filters and validators settle in to get rid of the junk, or at least direct it to those who want it.

The Web is new and needs filters and referee procedures. They will emerge from necessity through wide use. I do not think the answer is to shut it down or limit it.

Oscar Wilde might have said " The only bad idea is to limit the flow of ideas." He did not say that . Tom Greene did.
