I'm old enough (sigh) to remember a day when, to find out what happened that day, you actually had to take action: pick up the newspaper, turn on the radio/TV (at appropriate times only) and read/listen/watch as you received information.
Well, hasn't that all changed now? The basic problem is simple and unfixable: too many sources of information. CNN/Fox/TN/, etc., are on the air twenty-four hours and all those moving mouths and busy fingers are compelled to say or type something. It was so wonderful when Ed Murrow, Walter Cronkhite, et al, came on for a half-hour and told us things we didn't know. Now, we know everything, all the time.
Something gained? No doubt. Something lost? Yeah - privacy and sanity.
