I was there at the birth of the interwebs, also a very early adopter. Still, I never considered it to be a force multiplier for stupidity in the way things worked out. I went the other way, believing that it would harness humanity's genius.
I tend to be wrong a lot.
It's both, really. It amplifies everything, both good and bad. There are a lot of amazing things that have come about because of the Internet, as well as a lot of awful shit. It's easy to overlook the good stuff and only see the shit.
