Information

I think that the more information that is available the better. The problem with this then becomes how you access it. I can see the problem that the authors mention in that more and more information means less accurate retrieval of it. With personal webpages being easier to create it becomes more and more difficult to find who is telling the truth based on facts and who is offering their opinion. Thus, people need to be more trained in how to find accurate reliable information. Google search tips help narrow down results, using respected and recognized sites to find information weeds out inaccuracies. It just becomes a matter of knowing where to find the right information. This can somtimes limit the types of people that have access to the information. For example, my mom couldn't find cnn if she got on the computer. So, we are in effect creating a world where computers are very very necessary to succeed and be educated. We're not totally reliant on them but to excell it's almost a must have. Other road blocks inclued pay sites, sites with limited membership, and other weeding out factors. Almost anything can be found (which is a good thing) but you just need to know how.
