“I think we are very reliant on this and it pays to be careful to check your sources as we all know, but don't always remember, that just because it is on the internet doesn't make it true! #Fakenews”
I duuno if anything has really changed , we had (old) Encyclopedia in the house growing up, due to their age there were out of date references and inaccuracies. No doubt the same was true for some school textbooks. Google just makes it more efficient to access larger quantities of information.
The skill is learning to research and curate information, rather take the first bit of information found and treat it as gospel.
Unlike millions of people that only read a particular newspaper and blindly accept editorial and political bias, and have been doing so for centuries!
