When I grew up we had three tv channels, and two newspapers - some magazines and some books, and we believed everything we read or saw like it was God's gospel truth. We were a happy people - blissfully ignorant in every single way possible.
Today MSM is dying - as it should - but the Internet is exploding, and everyone with a cell phone is a reporter now. You get to see the world in real time, with all of it's true beauty and vile ugliness like never before.
We have tasted the fruit of the tree of knowledge and have been flung out of Eden as a result.
So, if you find yourself a little disoriented at the moment - don't be surprised.

Grew up similarly.
I also get the idea if 24/7 connection. This new found information age is definitely still in its wild west stage.
