For sure. It’s just hard to overstate how cut off we used to be from information back in the day. Your professor says something you think sounds suspect? Well, off to the library to find a book on a similar subject and HOPE you can find the answer you need within. That’s still an excellent way to get information and sometimes the best or only way for certain things. It just used to be the ONLY way for ANYTHING and I’m glad those days are behind us.
Yes, it’s now easy to get real information AND bullshit. I guess the reason I see this as an improvement is that I think it’s always been easy to get bullshit.
