Opinion

Opinions: Everyone has one.

If there is one thing the Internet revolution has brought about, it is the democratization of opinion. While the invention of the printing press greatly expanded the ability to publish one's view, it was not until the internet revolution took place that mass self-expression was truly democratized.

Freed from the constraints of traditional publishing, the internet generation is largely defined by its power of self-expression. Thanks to the Web, one's opinion need no longer be personal. Social media, forums, chat rooms and blogs have allowed just about anyone with access to a computer to share their views with a global audience.

This unprecedented revolution in self-publishing however has made one timeless question all the more relevant: whose opinion should you listen to?
