How might the metaphor of ‘ecology’ impact on the way you think about, understanding or use the internet?

 

 

The metaphor simply states a crisis on information we get and received

from different media outlets. The significant about presenting the ‘ecology’ of information in which overload and superabundance creates an information and knowledge crisis to the audience. Hence, we are reminded that in using internet wherein information is overflowing and infinite, the need to be picky and critical on choosing information should be observed. Other messages can be considered “pollution” to the atmospheric condition of the mind leading to disintegration of compacted and unified understanding of concepts, theories and principles directly connected with the reality.

            Moreover, since internet is a grand highway of information, it could be a necessary act or not a contingency exercise to keep abreast of information that are reliable and warrants a useful application to knowledge formation.
