• What is the price to pay when we confuse opinions for information? The credibility of the contents?
  • How will we achieve the industrialization of information and reduce the amount of Big Data that currently encumbers our networks?
  • If the primary dimensions of the industrial world were space and time, will the dimensions of the knowledge-based society not be time, space and information?
  • Does our brain gets used to the perpetual « butterflying » that characterizes current social networks?
  • If during the industrial era information was a matter of storage, during the post-industrial era, will it become an issue of information processing?
  • Will society be divided between information « haves » and information « have-nots » information, the latter becoming basically functionally illiterate?
  • Does the tweet become linked to oral tradition (related to the time factor of transmission) while writing content become related to the factor of space? (See Harold Innis)
  • Do the algorithms of search engines developed by private companies cause cultural distortions?
  • Does the circulation of large amounts of non-validated information undermine the confidence of the people and create an environment of gloom? Is there a content credibility problem on the horizon?
  • If content on the web content is growing in four different fields (military, commercial, educational, and social) will it cause a major rupture in society?
  • Because the Net is funded increasingly through an economy of contribution imposed by the major platforms, does it signal the end of the myth of free content?
