From Encyclopedias to Google: When Misinformation Took Over
14 Apr, 2025
In this episode of "Ironic Evolutions," Theo Carmichael takes us on a witty journey from the time when encyclopedias were our primary sources of knowledge to today's chaotic digital landscape dominated by Google and rampant misinformation. As he reminisces about the comforting weight of a book in hand, Theo contrasts it with the bewildering avalanche of online "facts" that flood our feeds and dictate our perspectives. With his signature blend of nostalgia, humor, and sharp social commentary, he explores how our quest for information has devolved into an age of soundbites and misleading headlines. Listeners will find themselves laughing, reflecting, and maybe even questioning their own digital consumption habits as Theo highlights the absurdity of this evolution. Join him in unpacking how we’ve navigated this bizarre shift and why the past might not be as quaint as we remember.
