The mechanic who is trying to diagnose a complicated problem can visit a mechanics' newsgroup on Usenet. Thus, we have more people today who have access to more information than they know what to do with. The Information Age has suddenly been throttled into light speed and we are traveling along, reeling from the vertigo. That is a puzzling question. Americans are finally being given a dizzying array of new choices.
Citizens can choose where they get their news from and when they get it.
There are even programs available that allow a user to custom-tailor the day's events according to interest. That way, unlike any ordinary newspaper, the sports section is nonexistent, but the national reports are twice as long. Unfortunately, I have to side with so many people and agree that we are not all mature enough to handle this wealth of information. Despite the outrage over this, companies find that employees are misusing equipment, visiting sites on the Internet that are completely unrelated to work during work hours. Furthermore, look at all the smut.
