Growing up in Guyana in the 1950s, we were not blessed with the plethora of daily stimulus and detailed information on a range of subjects that people growing up today are fortunate to have. The machinery of the change is clearly the conduit, alive and vibrant and growing with the various electronic entities churning out the material, but we are also fortunate in this age that we have in the mix a range of individuals, different ages, different specialties, and different motivations, who contribute to this information flood on subjects far and wide. For most of us in the public, I suspect there would be a different list of these contributors who come to us daily in the various media, stemming from the different interests of the public coming to this information, but my purpose today is simply to raise a shout for those individuals who are stirring the pot, so to speak, ultimately for our benefit.
