"People under 50 are finding news and information in so many different ways unconceivable just 15 years ago."

When I was in my 20s, fresh out of college and looking for a job, I would "prep" for job interviews. I would drive an hour or more to a large metro-area library to look up annual reports and other information about companies I was about to interview with. Annual reports were scarce; law or business libraries were the only ones to have them. Now they're available by a mouse click.

I know, I know. Goldang kids, when I was your age it was uphill to school both ways, etc. Flame away; I'm just sayin'.
