DNGC Chapter 16

I just finished reading chapter 16 out of "Dinner At The New Gene Cafe," and I thought this chapter made a really interesting point about how the internet is like a double edged sword for the issue of biotechnology. I read about how Charles Benbrook's analysis of the bleak future of genetically modified food was leaked through the internet, and this had a profound effect on the way people viewed GMOs. Prior to the internet, acquiring information was a much more drawn out process than it is today. Before the internet, companies had the advantage of making information about their products relativley well known, without much room for argument; however, the internet has revolutionized the way people communicate, and information sharing is now much easier than it was in the past.
