The ability to identify and critically evaluate the various media that throw facts at us are referred to as media literacy. This ability encourages you to ask more intelligent and thought-provoking questions. One should be able to analyse various forms of media and effectively communicate with or with the assistance of them. The more people who understand media, the more diverse their perspectives will be. People will understand how to deal with situations such as cyberbullying, racial stereotyping, sexual harassment, and how to distinguish between true and false information. Every article will make more sense because people will have a better understanding of the author, their respective points of view, and the topic of discussion.
The Information Age has taken its toll on the human brain. Data concentration is required for information to be processed in a logical manner, just as it is required for any other piece of work. The fact that the industry is brimming with data, numbers, and details only adds to the strain on individuals’ minds. The more information flung at the public, the more confusion, panic, and irrational decisions they make due to their inability to grasp the truth. The result of this constant inflow of feed is information overload, infobesity, or intoxication.
Every day, approximately 2.5 quintillion bytes are generated. There are so many HD movies available on online streaming sites that it would take us 47 million years to watch them all. There are currently nearly 1.8 billion websites, with approximately 571 new ones appearing every minute. A large amount of information is only a secondary issue. The primary source of concern is the filtering of information, the lack of quality control, and the boards’ inability to control the constant inflow of feed.
