I'm with Melynda Huskey on this one. "Things I really did not need to
know" include smarmy but incorrect stories concerning historical figures.
My mailbox fills with this kind of junk from well-meaning people who think
that I will be inspired by such historical novellas. The flip side of this
is that I sometimes receive bogus and inflammatory warnings about computer
viruses that don't exist. The Internet makes the proliferation of such
trash so easy, that people often invent their own hoaxes--of the inspiring
or panicking variety--just for the thrill of seeing their own fantasies
circle the globe. I am happy when people inform me of disinformation, as
this decreases the chance that I will repeat it to others.
The accuracy and quality of the information we receive through electronic
media should be an issue of concern to Vision 2020 subscribers, and to all
people involved with technology today.
