Whether do you get your information and knowledge from? Do you know?

I was talking to Menka recently. We were discussing how we’re inundated with information from so many sources! Are there really so many? I’m going to attempt to list the sources: –

• Email
• Internet
• Phone calls
• Conversation in person
• Letters i.e. paper mail
• Twitter
• Facebook
• TV
• Newspapers
• Radio
• Books
• Journals
• Magazines
• Music

Have I missed any out?

So anyway, after finding out something; if you want to share it can you remember how you learned it? How do you begin to recall the source of the info? How do you know if it’s accurate or not? How do you give it ‘weight’ if someone debates the info with you, if you can’t be sure of how you know?

Is this progress?

Is this the positive influence of technology?

Are we empowered or powerless?
