# Wiki Tutorial ## By Greg Willis The article "*Agnotology and Epistemological Fragmentation*" by Danah Boyd offers intriguing insight regarding modern accessibility to information and technology and the dangers that come with it. Easy access to a boundless database of information accessible to almost every citizen has proven very convenient. For example, a person with a clogged sink can very easily search a tutorial for fixing a broken sink on Google or YouTube. Also, people can very easily fact-check themselves or increase their knowledge on a certain topic at will. However, there are also some risks which come with unlimited access to the internet. Anybody can publish a webpage or YouTube video containing their personal views and opinions, and they will be available to billions of people across the globe. The article written by Boyd explains how this fact can (and has been) exploited, allowing people to post weighted, controversial statements or viewpoints with the intention of attacking or dividing communities. With the use of memorable terminology and the media, these ideas can spread and create a strong following. Unlimited access to unlimited information acts as a double-edged sword; while ease of access to information is very beneficial and convenient in most scenarios, it also runs the risk of broadcasting false information and hate speech at unprecedented speed.
