Few years ago the elderly in the community were the most informed, they got the second hand information and were the local Google I would say.

But due to the taking over of the internet, the younger generation now have access to news faster but then the elders are still the one stop information deposit as in issues like politics, they cab help you trace the humble beginning of a politician's journey with years attached to their stories, accurate history I must say.

Kudos to the elders in my society!
