Blog Post 3 Conspiracy and Technology

I think technology plays a big role in today's conspiracy theories. Because information is so easily passed from one person through email, instant messaging, blogs, and websites like Wikipedia and YouTube. These sites on the net make it very easy to pass information true or not no matter what the topic is. There is a conspiracy theory out there called loose change claiming that the nine eleven terrorist attacks was all a government conspiracy to get us into war in the Middle East. I know many people have watched this and although there really is no proof to this the writer director Dylan Avery sets forth a very convincing story. Here is a link to loose change on YouTube

If the technology we have today did not exist this conspiracy I believe would not have even got off the ground. So I believe the ease of information transfer plays a big role in today's conspiracy theories. I believe that a lot of today's conspiracies are a direct result of today's technology.
