Since the dawn of social media, lots of experts surfaced to share their advices online. Facebook, LinkedIn, pinterest and youtube (just to name a few) were flooded with constant updates.
In the good old days, you read news from newspapers, but nowadays you find news from Facebook or you read news from blogs of reputable publication agencies. I personally don't equate blogs as news. Blogs are opinions or simply personal experiences, but news are facts without bias.
It is becoming essential for one to read everything online with a grain of salt.
Information is power, or is it? We are being forced to look at every aspect of our lives with a microscope. Do this, but don't do that. Is information helping us to be smarter, or are we being forced into a corner with less and less choices and more fears?
Worse yet, some people's ego-feast can consume your precious time and energy, which can be better spent elsewhere.
If you ask me, the internet brings more harm than good, but the chaos is unstoppable. It depends on the person to manage and control the mess of information that is coming through.
