There is a lot of information these days that are available for us to access but do we ever think twice if the information we get is accurate? Whenever I do not understand or know anything I quickly search it on the internet.  Almost 96% I would believe the information that I find in the web is true. So I am always happy to know what I found but I never thought if it’s the accurate information. I learn in my psychology social media class that there are too much information that not all are correct information. We need to use critical thinking to analyze the article that we are reading and question why the author thinks this way. I always assume that whatever information available is in the internet are accurate.  But after class today I learn a lot from the discussion in my psychology social media class.

Internet has grown so rapidly overtime and we communicate through social media platforms this is the fastest way information is spread. Today anyone can be a publisher in the internet were compare to traditional social media it was few people that publish things. Because of this opportunity that we get to publish people change information that what is expected in reality. For example, on Facebook that the airplane that was crashed in Malaysia was found and it shows picture of people getting the people out, but in reality the plane was never found. People can do anything with information by Photoshop picture and make it believable. I learn that I need to use critical thinking when I read an article and always trace the source where did the publisher get it from.  I think that too much information can manipulate people because anyone can turn a false idea to become accurate or factual. To assess how much we rely on information, we need to do a self-inspection and debate whether information we find is reliable. From printing world to electronic assess we are to be more aware of ourselves and know the source that we find.
