The critical skill of critically evaluating online content

Why is it so critical to critically evaluate content online?

Well there is a lot of content online. Yes that is the understatement of the century.  Want a snapshot to back that up?

Facebook users watch 8 billion videos per day, snapchat users share over 400 million snaps per day and share 9000 photos per second. Over 7000 tweets are shared every second on Twitter. 1000 photos are shared to Instagram every second. The New York Times publishes around 400 articles a week and 65 blog posts a day.

So that is a lot of articles, videos, photos, opinions, ideas, information that is thrust upon us at any given moment. All of which we have to analyse and evaluate to see if it is something we need to be spending our time on.

And so we need to start being critical of that content.
