Answer:

Sam Wineburg did a research about the capacity of middle and high school students could not evaluate the credibility of online informations. And the new generations are each day more connect with internet, so the internet is the place where they search for informations. But unfortunately, the internet is full of malicious people, who create fake news, edited images, create whole stories about all the sort of things, so even though the internet is full of information, is important to learn how to evaluate if the information is true or false, so because of this we have to learn history. Having some previous knowledge about it we can easily evaluate when something is fake or not.
