Abstract

We live in a world which has an obsession with information. Just a few hundred years ago, most individuals would have had little knowledge of events outside their immediate localities; news of national or world events would have penetrated slowly and, in general, would have had little effect on daily life. Now we are not only expected to know about world events as they happen, but to hold informed opinions on them. Television and radio pour information into our homes; our telephones and computers connect us to the world.
