What the iKnow Generation Doesn't Know
Election seasons always lead me to thinking again about the power of words (when don't I?). Have we ever been so bombarded with them as we are today? It used to be just books, magazines, and newspapers—and maybe the occasional Saturday night newsreel. Now, besides TV, we’ve got the 24/7 global bombardment from take-it-with-you-everywhere personal communication devices. It's the iKnow generation. If the law of supply and demand applies to words, then surely words aren’t worth much anymore. Who can trust them?
