After many discussions and exchanging thoughts with my friends, It has definitely helped me broaden my views on the topic. Please do carry on reading to find out my learning points.
Bernard Low – We discussed about each other’s habits when it comes to sourcing for reliable and credible information. We both agreed that Wikipedia is not a good site to get your information however, i firmly believe it is a good site to gain information on a foundation level to get an idea of the topic we are researching on. In addition, we both agree that fake news should be banned and investigated when reported about it.

Timothy Chong – We discussed mainly about Singapore’s media and whether or not citizens are caught in a filter bubble. The younger generations have the skills as they are tech-savvy. But, the older folks who have no information literacy skills may be affected. Timothy’s reply was elaborate as to why citizens are not caught in the filter bubble. He feels that regulations are needed to control what is told to citizens. This is to avoid talking about religion or race over air is in place to preserve harmonious beginnings.

Marianne Tan – “Individuals need to be aware of the rising risk of computational propaganda. We need to break out of our filter bubbles, source out factual information and identify censorship and propaganda.” I strongly agree with her on this matter. People may be caught in a filter bubble due to censorship and propaganda which many people may not realise.
