Lidia, the problem today is information overload because of the mass media. We suffer from "info-glut."
There is information, which is factual, complete.
Then, there is misinformation, which is information that is incomplete and flawed.
Worst of all, there is disinformation, information that folks purposely craft to deceive us.
Today, our most important survival skill is knowing how to distinguish among information, misinformation, and disnformation.
We make decisions based on what we know, or think we know.
