As Ben said: "Although technology can be "a place where information is stored", I think it goes beyond that. At one level, a power law distribution is at play in that a small number of people control the majority of information (e.g., wikipedia). But more importantly, those of us along the "right tale" also exhibit a level of control when we form subgroups (i.e., social networking groups) and pursue common interests through the virtual interaction with others."
I suggest that Wikipedia has a filter than hinders genuine idea innovation and creativity. They are so concerned with ensuring that wrong information is not presented, that they have set up controls which also delete genuinely new perspectives, new theories, and new approaches.
