"The conclusion is that you actually can be too connected,if the connections are of the wrong kind and if they’re reinforcing your existing prejudices rather than altering them.You can pay to much attention to those around you,even if they’re really smart.The flip side of Pascal’s isolation is the cacophony you find on the net; it bombards you with many voices.Isolation and cacophony,interestingly, allow you to arrive at the same place:independence."
[James Surowiecki on the Unwisdom of Crowds]
