Is the average person more or less informed today

in regards to what’s going on in the world, politics, etc., than they were pre internet? I say people are certainly exposed to a lot more information, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are more informed.

More informed with false information

Exposed to significantly more information, yet significantly less informed.

Much less.
People have gotten stupid, very few people read anymore, and even then most just read the headlines.

They're overly informed on very conflicting topics and no one will hear the other side out.

We have access to more information than ever in the history of mankind, but are getting dumber by the day.

The best way to put it is smart phones have turned us into dumb people.

You would think so, but there are just as many idiots as ever.

I think a lot of folks get their info/build their opinion based on the comments sections... not good.

I think more informed, but that isn’t to say that people are well informed now. But if you go back in time, I would posit that the “average” person had next to zero idea what was going on outside of their town at any given time.

The PoliBoard is a perfect case study of this phenomenon

is there any informed information to even be had any longer?

But also, more real/true information is debunked and oppressed by the biased media, on both sides.
TV media wars are not good for the consumer.

Everything is a bell curve...the threshold is higher today so the idiots are easier to see.

and most lack the critical thinking skills to assimilate any of the information. Thus, you get visceral responses to the information.

Not my side, though. It’s the other side that’s full of bullshite.

I just wish people would rediscover common sense. Folks have become gullible and apt to believe anything and everything they read.

That’s not new; it just used to be that people believed anything and everything they were told. We used to be saturated with superstitious folk wisdom bullshite
