The phenomenon of "crowd wisdom" is one which impacts on us here at MSIT as far as delivering information literacy programs.  Just because an item or opinion is on Facebook or YouTube or even as part of a blog, how do students determine the authority or validity of the piece?  More importantly, do they care?  How does this impact on their assignement work?

I'd love to hear from the younger generation on their opinions of this piece.
