\u2019n Rukkie gelede merk \u2019n vriend op dat hy nie eens meer probeer om klein besonderhede te onthou nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy gebruik bloot sy foon of rekenaar, en binne sekondes het hy bronne wat vir hom \u2019n antwoord gee op wat ook al ter sprake mag wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy opmerking laat my wonder of \u2019n oormaat inligting \u2013 iets waarmee ons daagliks gebombardeer word \u2013 werklik so \u2019n edele en goeie ding is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prakties gesproke open dit geleenthede vir mense om toegang tot inligting te verkry, ongeag waar hulle is. Hetsy Trompsburg of Chicago, grense bestaan nie meer nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oorlog in die Oekra\u00efne is \u2019n goeie voorbeeld hiervan. In \u2019n oomblik kan jy duisende menings oor dieselfde saak kry, wat dan vir jou die inligting uitlig om self \u2019n genuanseerde en gebalanseerde mening te vorm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wel, dis die idee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studies en gepaardgaande gevolgtrekkings dui daarop dat toegang tot al die data en inligting mense meer afgesonderd, alleen, depressief en onvergenoegd kan laat voel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baie mense dink nie meer vir hulleself nie. Hoekom sou hulle? Alles word met \u2019n teelepel vir hulle gevoer. Hulle hoef net vir Google nader te trek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoeveel keer hoor \u2019n mens hoe sekere kampvegters vir of teen byvoorbeeld die Covid-inentings hul menings as die waarheid verkoop? Gegrond op inligting wat hulle iewers in die stowwerige digitale ruimtes aantref en \u2019n nuwe baadjie aantrek vir reaksie van ondersteuners of kritici. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die waarheid word \u2019n bysaak wat \u2019n goeie storie kan kelder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tyd vir stilte het ons nie meer nie. Ons waardeer nie meer die klein dingetjies soos \u2019n sonsopkoms nie. Waarom sal \u2019n mens nou na \u2019n werklike sonsopkoms kyk as jy na duisende op Facebook kan staar en wens jy was liewers daar? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skrywer John Trudell merk tereg op: \u201cI am just a human being trying to make it in a world that is rapidly losing its understanding of being human.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om weg te kruip of die digitale w\u00eareld vaarwel toe te roep is nie die antwoord nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dalk kan ons ons menswees weer vind deur die bronne tot ons beskikking reg aan te wend. Besef dat ons eie denke en ondervin\u00addings tot kennis lei. Deur bewustheid te onderskei tussen dit wat vir ons goed en sleg is, en in daardie bewustheid te bid, mediteer of dink sonder enige eksterne faktore wat \u2019n wetende rol daarin kan speel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dan sal kennis weer mag word, en inligting \u2013 wel, inligting sal net \u2019n werktuig wees om daarby uit te kom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
