“Internet-centric explanations, at least in their current form, greatly impoverish and infantilize our public debate. We ought to steer away from them as much as possible. If doing so requires imposing a moratorium on using the very term ‘Internet’ and instead going for more precise terminology, like ‘peer-to-peer networks’ or ‘social networks’ or ‘search engines,’ so be it. It’s the very possibility that the whole — that is, ‘the Internet’ — is somehow spiritually and politically greater than the sum of these specific terms that exerts such a corrosive influence on how we think about the world.”
