Since I doubt that disinformation is a word, I would say no. I would say, though, that we might be in the Misinformation age.
-
yes, Nelson, I do. But information even in the old days was supposed to be filtered through and not taken as gospel. We are getting lazy and that causes the rise of dis-information.
-
I think we're in an age where we have too much information - multitasking with the old brain seems to be getting more challenging every day!
-
Personally I think we are in the Infomercial age. Product placement everywhere, Advertisements everywhere, spam everywhere. You can't get away from it.
-
Well, who's being informed?! ;-)
-
We passed it on 9/11. Thanks Bush.
-
Yes...and it's time for the madness to STOP!! It's so easy to put anything out there...true or not.

Would classify this as the "Opportunity Age." Never has there been so much for all to accomplish if they choose to. The future is bright for the next generation.

We were well down that path when main stream articles started coming out about it right around the turn of the new Millennium. The earliest uses occurred during WWII, The Cold War made disinformation a recognized military and political tactic all through the last half of the 20th century. Disinformation techniques may also be found in commerce and government, used by one group to try to undermine the position of a competitor or consumer.
