Whether good or bad, there is no arguing that with today's technology we can stay current with information with in seconds from anyone of a number of places. Think how long it would take for all of the regimens involved in the Revolutionary or Civil war to get the message that the war was over. How long would it take for the passengers to travel by stagecoach from one state to another to visit with family.
Now we drive across states in a few hours, update statuses on Facebook and Twitter from our cellphones throughout the day, and have video conference calls for free with Skype, MSN, and AOL. I can follow a short term missions trips through a blog, get up to the minute news and commentary from all view points.
Yet with all this information at our fingertips, it seems as though we know less now then they did many years ago. Is it a matter of quality versus quantity? Are we getting too much surface knowledge without depth?
