I used to think this was going to speed things up. That was in late 2004 when I first became aware of what was going on. I thought for sure, with the internet, others would be quickly informed, and within 6 months all the crashing would be done. Guess I was wrong about that. Now I’m pretty much convinced that most people pay little if any attention to housing and financials, except what they hear from their friends. And since finance is not a popular topic, I’d have to say the internet will make little difference.
