The Sixth Week: Information Literacy

"The Importance of Information" Information itself are just letters to combine to make words that we combine together to create meaning and purpose. And we have been doing this ever since we started communicating. Information is a very powerful weapon. It can create and destroy lives. But we cant really stop this from happening. Every action has an equal or opposite reaction. So we need to be careful on what information we will convey to others. Its a double edged sword. What is Information Literacy?
