Knowledge is power: We can put down bad propagandas around the internet if we know how to judge them and by judging them, we should be able to manifest a rightful judgement and let ourselves learn and teach other people too. By that, we can enact our information literate selves and keep ourselves on the drive of this fast-pacing world. Information is all around and we are supposed to be not suffocated, but rather manage them all according to their functions while eliminating those that are not needed, and spread what is accurate, reliable, and timely information for other people to raise awareness and knowledge, and to propagate an educated society where people cannot be blinded by lies anymore. Needless to say, the society will be peaceful if people are open to be information literate in the midst of social era.
