Social media has democratized and expanded the human stupidity. We have a critical sense that is conspicuous by its absence. A generation that has access to all the information in the world with just one click and who prefers to waste time recording absurd dances while the clock continues unstoppable tik-tok.
Spent last week on the volcano issue. Social media burned because Isabel Zubiaurre asked a firefighter how could you put out a volcano. It really was not like that, what happens if you cut the intervention, it does seem to say so.
This person has a doctorate in physics from the University and the head of meteorology at La Sexta. Surely he knows more about the subject than the volcanologists who have come out in recent days, who are the same as until a few days ago they were virologists.
The big problem with social networks is that they give shelter even to those who should not have it. Anyone puts a homophobic or racist message and they will have people applauding them. Opinions that a couple of years ago would be ashamed to express in public, are supported and disseminated on these sites.
People only look at the headlines, do not enter the news and even less look beyond it. We believe that we have a lot of data and a lot of information, but it really only gives you to get a little cheese in the Trivial, because cEvery time we know less and not precisely because we know more.
We believe by heart what any Twitter blower says and that’s how it goes.
Ears were attached to the school donkey. Now it is retweeted and he calls himself influencer.
