Well, what is happening out there now days?

I was already out of college by then and my had been employed in the computer industry since I was 15 working at Intermec in Everett Washington for messing around with information so it was more of a sentence than a job and upon entering into the University of Washington I started work at Microsoft at the time it had offices located in Bothell Washington as a Coder.

Your second statement hit it all to the point (hypertext made it easier) like that Windows made it so even a fool could use a computer and thus now we have alot of fools half ass researching information and taking it for fact. Anyone knows that if there was a BS filter for the web 90% of it would be vaporized.

Again really my input here is just wasting thread space so I shall depart.

 

The signal to noise level gets pretty low on the internet. However, it's still good that we have it. Having many independent news groups on the internet gives people an altenative to the few corporate news giants that are on most cable systems. They have a way of short circuiting false claims that show up on the TV news networks. The debunking by internet gurus of that supposed letter regarding Bush's guard service that Dan Rather was talking about is one example. Without the internet, that claim would have been accepted as fact by the general public. It's not as easy for TV news media today to put things past the general public. The use of the internet as a tool for people to organize is another benefit.
