Information overload: a threat to critical thinking
In the age of information, we are constantly bombarded with data and news. This can be a good thing, as it helps us to stay up-to-date on current events. However, it can also be a bad thing, as it can lead to information overload.
Information overload can make it difficult to think critically. When we are constantly bombarded with information, it can be hard to focus and to process what we are reading and hearing. This can lead to us making impulsive decisions or decisions that are not based on evidence.
To combat information overload, it is important to be selective about the information we consume. We should also take time to reflect on the information we do consume. This will help us to make better decisions and to get more out of the information we are given.
