Dive Deep Down-D3

I read newspapers, magazines, newsletters, blogs, stories, novels, poetries, emails, letters, brochures, numbers on excel sheets etc. I watch news, music, reality-shows, youtube, keynotes, interviews etc. I listen to podcasts, songs, opinions, advice and hear whispers, growling, laughter etc. You must be thinking.. So What?

I just wanted to start my blog differently.

What I wanted to infer is- in this age of cutting edge technology we still rely on watching, listening and reading different sources of information, which shape our thoughts. Most people trust a limited number of sources and show allegiance to the information gained. Hardly few of us try to question the source and authenticity of information.

Jessica- a friend of mine felt Panasonic is the best phone. You must have questioned her technological awareness by now. But she had a reason- She liked Panasonic because she had one. Now she feels Sony Ericsson is the best.

We are no different than Jessica. Each one of us has our favorite film star, newspapers, magazines, and web sites. More often than not information is presented with facts, and sound so convincing that we end up believing and spreading them. Lest we ever question the authenticity of information despite many website and columns clearly mention that the article is a personal opinion of the author.

The only way to untangle the ravines of information is to question them. Question everything that matters to you. Question every piece of information you watch, hear or read. Try acquiring different point of view about the same topic. Doubt every piece you come across. Else, unknowingly you will end up carrying or spreading misinformation. And not to forget,question every email before you forward them to benefit your friends.
