I think what is interesting about #2 is that an embedded idea in a tool can be detrimental, but if we do not look past the basic function of the tool to an idea then we are, in sense, curbing innovation.  It is a highly paradoxical idea because powerful mediums, such as newspapers are charged with informing the public.  However, they stretch beyond their basic function.  The large majority of newspapers do not objectively report.  They are riddled with political biases and they taint stories to change the public’s view of current events.
