Information - Boon Or Bane??

Hey guys! how are you all? So today our topic is about information. I chose this topic because in the modern era there are lot of problems faced by youngsters, adults and almost everyone. Today in the present the information is turning into headache more than knowledge. Now you might be wondering “what? information is a headache? how?”

yes information is a headache but with some exceptions so let's get started:

WHAT IS INFORMATION?

Any data or facts, figures that can be used to predict something or make any decision is INFORMATION. Now it was the simple definition that I can give you to understand the word INFORMATION. Let us clear this with one example:

EXAMPLE - If you want to buy a new smart phone, what will you do? You might ask your friends for suggestion or you might be researching on the internet or on shopping sites and the every possible way that you could. So what are you doing? You are seeking information about different phones this is the information or data of phone's “usage, performance, battery, speed etc.” and this data is provided by the users that have used this phone, or by the manufacturers. In simple words you seeked information! but why? And the answer is: TO REACH OR MAKE A DECISION WHICH PHONE TO BUY!

I hope this made you clear about the information. Ok! so now we know what information is! but how could it be possible that it can be a bane? It's a simple piece of data!. Ok let me clear this too! let's travel to past

Earlier when the printing press and other sources were not available then at that time - very less writing were published as they were handwritten so it took time to get in existence then distribution and other. Sameway if we wanted to send a message - Pigeons played an important role as the technology was not developed and there was no e-mail or something other. The result was this that “very less information was transmitted/transported, very less people consumed it and very less they used to memorize”. 

But in present time , our school focuses on forcing us to memorize the things, instead of being creative. They teach us what to think instead of how to think. Our creativity is getting low day by day, but schools alone are not responsible these are just a component. 

If we get deeper it follows like

We memorize things to get good marks in exams, or prove ourselves intelligent. Now sometimes we are not able to memorize things which we complaint! and due to this a small seed of negativity is sown. Now we reach to our friends with our problems and then the worst happens and what is it? “he/she tells us about their work and they are also facing the same problem and now the gossips start” No don't understand or imagine wrong, gossips start of complaining instead of any solution. Now in these gossips they discover new matters which are full of negativity. 

This was the starting. 

After being full of negativity, both students are stressed and they scored low marks. Now this information is conveyed to one and only “neighbors”and it is a common thing we all know! aunties never keep anything secret. Now this negative news is conveyed to everyone in the society. 

this was the second step.

But story changes here, now these negative information and some matters are conveyed many times which gets compounded and after that people gets habitual to the matters of others, they love seeking information of other people's lives. Now entry of our superhero “newspaper” get every information of the world by sitting at home. One person will come in morning and throw it into the house , it doesn't matter whether it hit someone or not. It happened with me, one day newspaper hit my head! Let's get back. Newspaper contains every information related to the world, It doesn't matter it is useful, unuseful, negative, positive or anything. People read it in morning. Now the point comes if you are consuming the negativity in the morning ! the most productive time, then how can you perform best at your profession???

I hope one thing is cleared to you. Now comes some extra talented person who read and listen news almost 3-4 hours a day. I don't know whether they are the incharge of the universe or what! but they do it which results in - anxiety, depression, negativity, mind disturbance and much more. 

Do you know the twist, the information that is consumed never helps to get ahead in life infact that is like a cage that person creates himself. 

I WILL BE WRITING THE SECOND PART FOR SURE, TILL THAT GOOD BYE! THANKS FOR READING
