Being unaware in our everyday life has form part the different information that come to us in whatever form. Yes, from sunrise to sunset we are bombarded with information that can be sense or totally senseless. Even our dreams can be source of information although they are weird and unexplained.
There are information obtained from relatives, neighbors, friends or just acquaintances by way of mouth to mouth passing. Mostly the information here is not accurate and unreliable because the source is unknown and the details are not complete. This is considered gossip. However, there maybe few instances that this mouth to mouth form of information dissemination is used like in an opening of an establishment or spreading the goodness of a product or how delicious their food of a certain restaurant. This way the information is true and can be trusted because there source person has personal knowledge and experience. Today, all kinds of information could easily and quickly obtained and spread in all corners of the world through modern technology like the internet. The internet is almost a complete library. Research works are made easy and can be done at home. Library research is time and effort consuming.
Information the television, radio are the most common source. Print media like newspaper, journals, books requires time. Information from these sources are much trusted to be true because people behind these are the most knowledgeable to do such works.
To sum up modern technology has made most if not all to be lazy, especially the students, researchers and those in related fields. Big percentage of the students today do not know how to use the library or even the place where to find the journals, the thesis works and other things.
Perhaps, we should start to discipline ourselves to be dependent on the use of internet. We should also try to use other sources for information we needed.
