Summary: [29-10-2006] Is the Web a force for good?

Body: I recently came across an interesting piece on the amorality of the Web while I was searching for something completely different. The piece, a blog by Nicholas Carr, takes a firm aim at those who consider the Web to be some kind of mystical experience, and an unalloyed force for good.

The piece was written a year ago, and some of it's broadsides against the Wikipedia might be thought of as knocking down straw men in the light of the criticism leveled at the site in the last year.

However, in spite of that It's a relatively short, well written piece, that deserves a wider readership by those who want to understand the direction in which the web is moving.

Recommended.
