Two sides in my perspective: One - those who 'grew up' in the habit of knowledge being somewhat scarce, as in, the best resource in the US was physically inside a Library (probably the 'Reference' section) - meaning the reward could be earned. The knowledge gained from Encyclopedias or Archives or Publications (ex: Time) built a large web of understanding over time. Not everybody retains a lot, but the art of learning Facts is pretty similar in the Internet age if one is careful about their sources... ...which leads us to Two - the "whatever the quickest answer is / validates what I believe, I'll go with it" mentality which manifests in stupid people spreading stupid erroneous things (ex: Anti-Vaccination "science") en masse because the Internet doesn't discriminate against idiots. Rather, it kind of enables them. I have a significant amount of contempt for people who behave in this manner, no matter their age group, and believe me, they're ever present up and down the roster from Millenial to Baby Boomer.
