The Ultimate Guide to Critical Thinking in an Age of Information Overload
Andrea Debbink / Aaron Meshon
简介
Have you heard of the Stone Age? The Gilded Age? Or the Jazz Age? They’re the names of important periods in history. One of the names for the time we’re living in right this minute is the Information Age. It means information is available wherever we go and whatever we do. You’ve probably noticed.
Information is all around. Every day we hear and see messages about what’s going on in the world, what to buy, how to dress, what to think, how to feel. These messages come from friends, family, teachers, social media, movies, and music. In short, information is everywhere.
It’s easy to experience information overload. Sometimes our minds take in so much information that it’s difficult to sort through it. So it just piles up instead, and your mind can start to feel like a messy closet.
What’s on Your Mind?
There’s a lot to think about! What’s capturing your attention these days?
