There is a desire in social media to get your meme out to as many people as you can. This includes advertising but if you are selling your work what I am going to write does not include you.
Putting up a statement and having people share it is all well-and-good if the statement has come from learning, from knowing it to be correct, from research. Most people will share for emotional reasons not rational ones and will not fact check. One of the new skills from the old world of learning is to fact check. I know religions don’t do it and we are given to belief systems but doing one’s own research is vital in the digital age. The amount of supposed knowledge is gradually overtaking real knowledge and no matter how technologically advanced we are, that will take us right back to the dark ages.
