Brief Introduction

In this age of technology, many young people obtain much of the information they need from online viewing materials. Such materials mostly come from Youtube, Instagram, and Snapchat—the most popular online platforms among teens based on a new Pew Research Center Survey (Anderson and Jiang, 2018).

As a student, you must enhance your capacity to filter information obtained from such sources. It will make you avoid misinformation, which has recently become prevalent due to fake news. You also need to sharpen your skill in judging the relevance and worth of their content before using them as bases for personal decisions, especially when dealing with social issues, concerns in real life.​
