<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1523385, member: 15199&quot;]The flow of information, both factual, dubious, and downright intentionally false has increased since the advent of the internet and electronic communication. There is no doubt about that. But ask any English/language teacher how is current student&#039;s deductive/inductive reasoning compared with the older generations of student. We have gone from published articles such as in Barron&#039;s where the author&#039;s identity is shown to Yahoo message boards with anonymous authors.&nbsp; The first generation of computer users said it best, GIGO ( Garbage in, Garbage out). It is one thing to read and &quot;believe&quot;, and another to read and evaluate each point. Not saying you do or don&#039;t, just commenting that more information on the internet doesn&#039;t necessarily produce better information.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the psychology of younger people does differ from that of the older generations. Most feel they can cheat death and poverty. Avoid divorces, business failures, dehabilitating illnesses or injuries, never have to provide for a disabled child or parental long term care, lawsuits, etc. So yes they can throw their plans and futures out there with more ease....but that doesn&#039;t mean they are making better decisions in the current time. I love young people, I volunteer for student art centers and classes as their imagination is still so strong and vivid, but they do not reason well. IMO!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
