Although some of the things that people and the internet comes up with are certain to be inaccurate, I'm convinced that the amount of information in the world is greater than we could imagine!!!
I don't dispute that they are learning things for jobs and problems that don't exist yet, but that is nothing new. The video leads you to believe that it is something new, but it has always gone on, we are simply more aware of it now.

The amount of available information is probably greater than the video implied, the accuracy and/or usefulness of that information is what is in question. More is not always better and if people are not willing to research the accuracy of information on their own, then fiction becomes fact very fast. In the end, too much information can be just as bad, if not worse, than no information at all.
