As I mentioned in my first post, President Barack Obama proclaimed October 2009 Information Literacy Awareness month. Inevitably, being discerning, rational and critical patrons of the information superhighway we should wonder if this is indeed an issue close to the President's heart, or if his speechwriter just has a phenominal grasp of the concept behind it all. Either way I really like the verbal imagery used. Using verified sources to: "separate truth from fiction and signal from noise" Good to know he's not just recieving nobel prizes all the time.
Good point, really we will never know how much of a speech actually came from the one presenting it. Or if it was just handed off to him on his way to the stage reading it out to us for the first time.
