We live in an age where we have access to SO much information, but as a society we are so much lazier than any of our ancestors ever were or even could be.

We come from men and women - yes, men and women - who had very little information but were a million times harder working and resourceful than the majority us alive today. They had to be or WE would not be here.

Our ancestors were hard working, brave, adventurous and more often than not, they only understood well what they knew intimately or somewhat intimately. Whether they were familiar with a subject through stories and tales or first hand experience, they knew little of anything else.

Of course one can always be more trustful of first hand experience than stories and and/or tales. Why? Because storytellers themselves may or may not believe in the stories that they are dispensing. They may even believe themselves that they are telling a factual story when in it is not. How would anyone be able to verify it unless they had first hand experience with it as well?

Eventually there were books and they were written on average by the victorious and not the losers. In many cases history has been skewed throughout to portray the ruling side in a most favorable light.

Which brings us back to the world we live in today.

The victorious still write the script today, however as a society we are in an extraordinary position of having access to almost all the information and documents. We might not have everything but we have enough to get the real story out before the book is closed on the 20th and the early part of the 21st centuries.

As you would expect with this much information available, everybody literally knows everything.

Or close to everybody, knows everything...At least that is how it feels talking to literally everyone...myself included most likely.

By and large, it is not because of first hand experience however, but because of stories that other people are telling, claiming to be true.

In today’s day and age we do have the best of both worlds, there is so much information available and we can find information on literally any topic that we want. We can collaborate with other like minded people, who by the way, have much more impressive credentials on average than a “reporter” or “news anchor”.

This is our time to use the information age for what it should be used for, to better our world and society.

Or we can let other people tell us stories and sink farther into the entertainment age.

WARNING!!!

MSM WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU CANNOT LOOK FOR YOURSELF. CNN SAYS IT’S ILLEGAL FOR YOU AND I TO LOOK BUT NOT FOR THEM. MSM SAYS TO LET THEM TELL US A STORY.

Do you know you don’t need any formal training to be a journalist?

Be your own journalist.
