Nowadays, not only is information everywhere, it is also literally at our fingertips. I can ask my phone how many calories are in my food, self-diagnose my headache on a medical website, look up a research article on a database, or search for a tutorial about my favorite hobby on social media. Thanks to technology, I can retrieve a massive amount of information that I otherwise would never have had easy access to. It’s like living in a candy store…of information.
Not a bad thing, right?
But what happens if the information I look at is not credible? What happens if I am misled by false information or misrepresented facts?
Today, knowing how to distinguish between reliable and unreliable information has become a necessary skill.
