It's worth noting that society existed for thousands of years without photography, audio recording, or videography. As you allude to, society is held together via trust networks, and these are independent of the prevailing media.
- syshum 5y agoSpeed of information is problem today we did not have in the past. Wrong, or disinformation can spread faster than the truth can be exposed in alot of cases. Especially when you have companies silencing people that criticize approved sources, and are determining what "truth" is allowed in public discourse
- vannevar 5y agoYes, but this works both ways---the truth also spreads faster over faster networks. It's always been true that rumor (or disinformation) spreads faster than truth. It always will be true, because rumor is easier to generate than truth.
