PLACES OF INTEREST - a personal view

Abstract

Information and content are declaratively available to everyone and everywhere nowadays. There are internet browsers that allow for those to be accessed. In that sea of everything said and written on just about any topic, there is a need for digital literacy, which in turn, is finely interwoven with the issue of filtering the information available. This is a question all the more pressing amidst our era’s constant influx of information of increasingly questionable quality, delivered with increasingly uncompromising ploys for our attention. A huge and complex issue as it is, yet it comes down to sorting facts and information against a trustworthy source.  One kind of such sources are certainly and foremostly the established institutions and renowned experts. However, this plentitude of information makes it all the more challenging for new names to arise as authorities that can be relied upon for the choice, quality and possibly the interpretation of the information selected.
