I think the lasting legacy of the internet will be tricking people into believing they know everything. We ingest more information in an hour than our ancestors did in a year, yet we are more dangerously ignorant than ever. I guess the other legacy will be easy shopping. - ThreadSky

I've always liked versions of this graph. Similar to Dunning-Kruger but I think shows the peak better. The internet has made it possible for all of us to live on the false peak of 'I'm an expert' on a huge range of subjects.

When it comes to people’s own work, they intrinsically understand that you need years of experience to fully master the job. But when it comes to other people’s work, they think they’ve found some shortcut to figuring it all out on the internet that the people who do it every day somehow missed.

Information is not valuable on its own.

A bad cook can ruin the best ingredients.
