Pitch

The Internet, the interactive media technology... Isn't that's the most modern part of our civilization? Isn't that what we are most proud of? How dare we call that "a pair of candles"?

Myths and Errors

"Interesting" means "relevant"

The myth (analogous to the myth of convenience) that we can relegate the choice of information to what feels interesting or attractive to people. And sidetracking the key question—what should information be like, and how should it be used so that our society, and our democracy, may function.

"Published" means "known"

The myth that when something is "published" (by broadcasting), it is automatically "known".

And the closely related myth that the book and the article are the information structuring formats.

Of course, both errors we've simply adopted from the traditional culture—without noticing that the new technology not only enables, but also requires a thorough re-design.

What keeps the contemporary 'Galilei in house arrest' is that (1) his ideas are confined to speculations, imprisoned in an inaccessible language in some inaccessible publication, and (2) lost in the "information jungle".
