The Misinformation Age

In today's world, it's nearly impossible to uncover the truth, despite our incredible access to information. How do we know when we're being manipulated? How do we know the truth when we find it? And what can we do to shield ourselves from the constant onslaught of misinformation that comes our way through the internet? In this short video, I want to address those questions, and send you on your way with a healthy dose of skepticism and self-criticism as you continue to browse social media.

'Misinformation is incorrect or misleading information presented as fact, either intentionally or unintentionally. Disinformation is a subset of misinformation, that which is deliberately deceptive. Rumors are information not attributed to any particular source, and so are unreliable and often unverified, but can turn out to be either true or false. Even if later retracted, misinformation can continue to influence actions and memory.

People may be more prone to believe misinformation because they are emotionally connected to what they are hearing or reading. The role of social media has made information readily available to us at anytime and it connects vast groups of people along with their information at one time. Advances in technology has impacted the way we communicate information and the way misinformation is spread. Misinformation has impacts on our societies' ability to receive information which then influences our communities, politics, and medical field.'

In an effort to create content that doesn't rely exclusively on the usage of free stock photos and footage, I tried to find a healthy balance in this video. Please do let me know what you think, how I can improve, and of course, your thoughts on this subject. I read every comment and try my best to respond to any and everyone. ❤️
