Back in the 90s, I (and many people) believed that when the Internet gave everyone instant access to all the world's information, urban legends would die out because it would be so easy to fact check things and surely nobody would spare a few minutes of research to avoid propagating a half-truth. Alas, this theory didn't fully account for human nature.
