On balance probably bad.
There was a time when the world was ruled by factual information.
These facts were recorded in books that couldn't be defamed or misinterpreted.
You might not have liked the information.
But you couldn't question it.
Thus it was taught in our educational establishments.
Thus everyone knew the facts on any subject simply by reading a book.
Fast forward to modern times and look at how information has been manipulated and abused by cheats; thieves and liars to gain nothing but an alternate false reality that pitches one generation against another to leave the next generation blind to whatever truth there is in the world.

@Picklebobble2 Yes there’s no doubt it’s had an affect there.

@Primnproper I love the idea of e-mail.
The fact that communication between family and friends is so much quicker today than it's ever been.
And you can send 'a day out with the kids' complete with photos and Granny and Grandad in Australia can see them instantly rather than wait three weeks for the same to arrive by mail.
So it's not all bad.
