The internet has made life far easier for students. Before they had to go to libraries to find the books they needed for their studies, now google provides the information instantly.

Re: Propoganda
Louis, not all of the info published on the net is accurate.
For instance I have found Wikipedia to be ill informed a few times.
When checking info on the net, I try to check as money sources as I can.

Problem with accessing search engines, you leave your footprints for all to follow. Cookies aren't tabnabs- they follow you everywhere.

Re: Propoganda
Wikipedia is made up much of the time of what has been put there by those accessing it. Not to be trusted.
But it is not propoganda.
It is information to be promulgated amongst the community in a manner that will ensure the ideas and concepts of those enshrined with the power to conduct such activities are ensured that the outcome will consumate the proposed ideals of those who wish to at times impose certain terms and conditions on those who would otherwise be unaware of the needs for such information to be allowed into the atmosphere of the general public.
As proposed by Sir Humpfry, a a wise man at that.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
