About Bonnie Morrison
It’s a fact: the internet has made everyone who uses it feel confident — experts, even — in our knowledge of quite a few subjects.
A Wide World’s worth of information at our disposal means most of us no longer need endure the experience of getting lost, singing the wrong lyrics, or making ourselves crazy to trying to remember the name of a person, place or thing.
But in the midst of all that certainty, doesn’t it also seem like it’s easier than ever to feel like you’re wrong? Like the place where we went for knowledge eventually made things a lot more confusing? Sure, everyone is a critic – but how about an activist, a victim, a villain or hero? What used to be a useful place to (among other things) find people you hadn’t seen seen elementary school and post vacation photos more and more frequently devolved into a universe of grievance and debate.
