KNOWLEDGE AND DIGITAL INFORMATION
Tomás MALDONADO
The new means of telematic access to information have become of crucial importance in the present debate on knowledge. Today, access to information had allowed us, at least in theory, to get to all the sources of information we need. Thus, the new strategic choice consists of making access to information easier, within certain limits.
However, caution is necessary when faced with this new situation. Whatever is proposed can, in fact, cause an opposite reaction from the one desired.
