One thing that's interesting is that when communities get to work examining the truth or falsehood of a story, it may emerge that communities are quite sophisticated at decoding them.John David Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795021467491106471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18223796.post-59650990536894048132007-03-05T20:57:00.000+01:002007-03-05T20:57:00.000+01:00Hi Cindy, I like your point about the information ...Hi Cindy, I like your point about the information overload, it does speed us up, and I noticed that personally it makes me more sloppy. That's why I like blogging and don't blog something I haven't really read. (like Maaike's paper, I didn't blog it till I had read it). That prevents me from passing on links without knowing the content.Joitskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087406142343521335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18223796.post-50067244924549828532007-03-04T17:53:00.000+01:002007-03-04T17:53:00.000+01:00Hello Joitske,I always have problem to understand ...Hello Joitske,<BR/><BR/>I always have problem to understand what 'story telling' is, and why there are so much attention on this method of communications. But that is me. <BR/><BR/>But your other point is important: contents of the story have to be true and can be verified. Quite a few times I received emails from friends forwarding url or 'attachements' that they themselves received from others. It's so happened I knew the stories/backgroun info of the emails, and could advised them that they might want to verified the content ...<BR/><BR/>As we are overloaded with information that are SO easily accessible online, we are mentally stressed, become sloppy and no longer take the time to read and understand what the 'content' is all about. We are being pushed to keep-up with the Jonesses. Very often I received emails, or read articles that contain so many URLs, (and then if you click on those URLs you are given even more URLs to read!!) that I am beginning to wonder how reliable those information are? And I question if everyone follow through and read ALL the URLs? I think is impossible. <BR/><BR/>So, then how valid are the informations we crammed into our head these days?hoonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420717810111331458noreply@blogger.com
