I agree with pretty much everything in this opinion item except for the assertion that we once had news sources that could be trusted. Yes, we did trust them. But, in retrospect, we shouldn't have. That said, as the author states, we won't be returning to that age, and so have to fend for ourselves, for better or worse, which means we all (and not just our kids) need critical thinking skills. I think we will find that this, rather than any particular technology, is the key change brought about by the information age.
