Deluge of information

Letter January 19, 2020
In such an era, it becomes important to differentiate between the right and wrong by using our brain power

PESHAWAR: In this digital era, we have been bombarded with information; every other second we are getting some information. We are truly in an ocean of information.

In such an era, it becomes important to differentiate between the right and wrong, leading and misleading, correct and incorrect, arguments and manipulation, translation and interpretation, information and disinformation by using our brain power and true spirit of Islam.

As a student how much information do we need? Not all information is good information and sometimes it is better to be unaware of certain things.

Here self-development, self-improvement, and skills play a major role. It is us who are going to decide where we use our time and energy.

It is really important to mark limitations. In the present era, all these innovations are not possible without deliberation. While moral question become harder and harder to understand it is up to us to choose a framework that we can stick to. So let’s think together and find a solution.
