Changes in the Availability of Information

I strongly believe that i have access, to much more information, much easier, this comes due to the little thing called the Internet, which allows any one to find out the world news, and events within seconds, i can find things out about a small town in New Mexico, which my grandarents, at my age could never imagine. I also know that there are many false publicatons of event and about people, that many things i may think i know something about, could just be a lie. Also i think there are more people willing to lie about things, and it is easy to broadcast this information accross the world, that people do believe it, because it is everywhere. It is easy to create a fake image now also, as in I could pose my self in front of the eiffel tower, even though i have never been there.
Anyways the world today is heavily digitized, and the world is able to recive news alerts on thier phones, PDAs, and through emails, which changes the want to know, and need to know basis of information. So i would think that my grandparents and parents, knew more important information than we doo today as we try to remember what each emoticon means. :)
