How can you sift through a "sea of information" ?

Critical Thinking.

Inglês Conversação Geral Vestibular

Nowadays many people have to "sift through"a sea of information before making their decisions, haven't they ? They have even coined the term "infobesity" to refer to this daily difficulty they have to handle "infobesity" trying to avoid stressful moments. Have you listened to this word "infobesity" before?

For Me, It Is Very Important To Pay Attention And Select Sources Of Information, If U Don't Do That. U May Suffer From Infobesity And Make Wrong Decisions. In General, When I Am At School, Teachers Can Help And Guide Me To The Right And Necessary Sides And Tools. Fortunately, My Classmates And I Have The Chance Of Practising Our Critical Thinking. After Watching The Video I Think That Tip Number 5 Is The Most Important One Because It Is Really Necessary To Consider Many Points Of Views To Get The Best One.

A lot of information makes me discombobulated indeed. However , you must read some and select what it is interesting to invest your time and make the right choices . You must give a limit to yourself so that you will have time to stay with your family or study what you want.
