Questions

1. How do we "build" information?

Information is built through anything and everything. If we see something, or say something it is automatically put out as information for ourselves. If we then decide to pass this information along, it then becomes new information to others. We also get information from internet, magazines, news, etc. As information expands throughout time, we are never told if the information is the truth unless we can prove it.

2. When does the information become "truth"?
Information becomes truth when we ourselves can prove it to be true. We will never know the truth of something even if the information is passed on as being the truth.

3. Is there an issue of trust with source?
When new information is put on the internet,we automatically think it's true, while it can be just rumors. There can be accurate information on the internet, but like I mentioned in the previous question, we will never know unless we can prove it ourselves.

4. When do you trust them?
It is extremely hard now a days to know when you can trust information you are given or have read. Unless someone has a good feeling about the information or it can be proven true, it is then it is up to the person to know.
