We meet many unknown people by internet or other types of information technology. Via these we can learn many things. So we get knowledge from new form of technology as well as our parents.

You should read it... :) We're better informed because there's more information but also because now you can decide/filter what to read and where to read it whereas before you had to read what others chose for you. Right now knowledge is a click away and although many argue that the knowledge of the masses can be tricky (for instance collaborative knowledge sharing in wikipedia) others say that it can be used as a starting point and you can go further and deeper as you wish. The advancement was also in terms of "niche" markets and the democratization of publishing tools (specialized blogs for instance). Now everyone can write about what they want and even specialize in a given "niche" and it is up to the reader to give it credit and read it or not. And how you get to what you want/need? Basically you go there through recommendations and/or our "friend" google ;) First of all, welcome to “the long tail”. You should read it… :)

Under the old system, as you named it, those who absorbed the most information and usually also produced some of it were called "Intellectuals". How should they be called nowadays? Bloggers? (ouch...) Those who find the best answers to your questions will probably become the most influential people in this New Age.
