Why you should be skeptical about information?







Some years back we had to rely on limited number of information source. Fresh and instant information wasn’t possible. Development of science and technology has changed our life greatly. Information is readily available here and there. Today communication medium are quick enough to get feedback from targeted audiences. Social sites and online media are acting as voices of voiceless if not they claim to be. Information is power; there is no disagreement on this.
 Right information on right time greatly impacts your efficiency and productivity of work. In spite of many improvements and progressions, modern digital media are lacking of complete trustworthiness and usefulness.

Here are some reasons why you should be skeptical about information, delivered to you.

1. Reliability
Information is available easily but reliable one is not. You might have heard rumors,viral and scandals a lot.To draw attention of mass,some websites only present their opinion in way that audience love to see and heard about.

2. Biasedness
Knowing the power of information,every single organization and institution have their own media Portal.Even some reputed agencies or channels project their own opinion instead of neutral information. All they do is try to influence and attract people to their ideology.

3. Scatteredness
Information is scattered in various divisions and places. And we are too lazy to gather.One site presents one perspective another does next.If you go through both source then only complete real picture is visualized.

4. Authenticity
Only the few publishers have access to authentic informations. The remaining bunch of people simply decorate in persuasive way,distort reality,and distract readers or audiences.Unfortunately reputed and big publishers houses too deliver falses instead of facts.

5. Globality
Undoubtedly the whole is so connected that we are brought so closer now. But variables not necessarily impact and work in same manner everywhere. Local environment and stake holders do matter. Because everyone targets global audience most of we find is mixed up information .Unless we extract to get right one the package is useless if not is least usable.

6. Incompleteness
There are only few websites and agencies that actually research and publish detailed information about event, topic or reality. Rest of others just modify,edit,truncate and republish. To not look like original version, they truncate which is always incomplete one. From incomplete information you are always at risk of drawing wrong conclusion.


It's always good to check out alternative sources. Don't just stick with source that says or presents the side you want to look at. Filter out the useful content and choose authentic source. Having difficulties to choose the right source? Go for one which present balanced view on subject.
