Mining truth from the deluge of information is going to become harder, not easier as technology progresses.

When the technology exists to alter photos, even create scenes by combining elements of real images into one that never existed. we won't be able to believe our own eyes. Videos can be made that will literally put words into peoples mouths that they never said. History itself will be able to be Photoshopped, cropped and re-edited by those who have the will and technology.

And, once the AI revolution hits, I believe truth will become like a favorite flavor or color...something that is personal and of choice to each individual.

It all reminds me of that old saying: be careful what you wish for...you might just get it.
