Lollapalooza Lineup Leaked?

This week, the lineup for the Chicago music festival Lollapalooza was supposedly leaked through an anonymous twitter account, @lollaleaks. Although none of the alleged musicians have confirmed their appearances yet, many people believe that this lineup is accurate. Others, like Lolla founder Perry Farrell, claim that it's not. Personally, I think that it's a publicity stunt to test the waters and see if festival goers like the lineup or not. But what amazed me about the whole thing was how fast the news spread. Within hours of the leak, pretty much everyone who wanted to knew the lineup. I texted my brother, who is at college in Iowa City, right when I found out, and he had already seen it! The lineup might not even be legitimate, but there were still dozens of Facebook posts about it on my news feed. What made this possible was the pure power of the American media. Everyone has access the internet and news 24/7, and everyone can share it 24/7 through social media sites.
 The constant cycle of news was not present even a few decades ago. The power of American media is growing more every day. Do you it's good thing that people can access anything they want with a few clicks, or are we moving too fast into a new, technology worshiping age in America?
