Blog #2: The answer to the question presented in p107 of the textbook (Nagata)
This is Minori Nagata.
1. Some people say they feel overloaded with information these days, considering all the TV news shows, magazines, newspapers, and computer information services. Others say they like having so much informaion to choose from. Do you feel overloaded, or do you like having so much information available?
I don't feel overloaded with any information because I'm always selective in the choise of information. The modern world has been flooded with information and the form of madia has got so diverse that we're confused with which information is right and most important.
Under such a situation I've got several things to do. I make a point of having the accesses to several kinds of newspaper or the TV programme. Secondly I'm trying to cultivate the insight and the ability to judge whether the information is reallly the fact or not. Third I compare an affair or information with the other one from another point of view for fear of being biased. By doing these things I'm not stressed with the flooded information. Eventually I probably like to have a lot of information.

Hi, I'm Kazu
ReplyDeleteI think having too much informations is not a bad thing. It is always good to have choices, but the more important thing is whether we have the knowledge and the techniques to choose the "correct" information. It is important to know and find out where the information is sourced from, and whether it is not biased or stereotyped.
This is Ryuko.
ReplyDeleteI also like to have a lot of information. But it's more important to recognize whether the information is the fact or not. It should depend on the records (written records or voice record) not by a rumor or verbally. There are hundreds of thousands of information on the Internet. Please sift through the evidence.
