Critical Thinking

In response to "Does the convergence of media decrease the quality of news by allowing "sub-news" to make it alongside "mainstream" news?"

I think the wealth of information provided by the Internet is fascinating. Allowing "sub-news" to run alongside "mainstream news" is a bit scary and could decrease the quality, but that's the Internet, a vast world where anything can happen. But I worry about who reads, interprets and believes the information provided. Along with this technology boom, critical thinking should be implemented in elementary schools and classes should be mandatory in Jr. High and above.
