Do you ever find that when you're talking about a news story often you don't know where you heard, read or saw it? I'm finding this more and more with me. People are blasted with so much information that knowing the original source takes one more bit of brain power to remember. I now have to make mental notes of where I get my information. I find it fascinating how conversations have changed. For example, I read a while back, somewhere, when Expedia and Priceline were still kind of new, people no longer bragged about their vacations as much but instead bragged about the bargains they got to get there -- airfare, hotel, car rental, etc.
I just find it interesting how technology can change what we talk about and focus on -- the news story, not the source; the airfare not the vacation itself. OK. I'm off to read news somewhere.
