    The document discusses the evolution of information transmission from ancient times to the modern era. It notes that oral transmission was the primary mode of communication for ancient humans, who used songs, writing systems, and fire for storing information. The development of the printing press allowed mass production of reading materials. Later, technologies like computers, phones, and the internet enabled long-distance communication and information sharing in real-time. The document also discusses the risks of spreading misinformation on social media and emphasizes verifying information from credible sources before sharing.

    1. How did the transmission of information evolve from the ancient times?

    Although pigeons and humans were used to communicate in the past, information
    transmission has developed since ancient times, and we now utilize a range of
    technical technologies to interact with others.
    Every evolutionary theory explains how the genetic code evolves through time to
    better match successive groups of animals to their environments.
    The technique through which such adaptation occurs is by a movement of information
    from the environment to the organism's genetic reserve. You have electrical average
    communications after that, as a telegraph, and later as a telephone.
    For ancient humans, oral transmission was the major mode of communication. They
    sing songs to pass on their customs and cultural knowledge. They also learn how to
    write in hieroglyphics, cuneiform, and other ancient writing systems. This is also the
    time when mankind discovered fire for the first time. They used fire to make paper
    from plants, which they used to store information. The industrial age was
    characterized by the invention of machine tools and the production of a wide range of
    items. The invention of the printing press, which allowed for the mass production of
    books and other reading materials, was a significant element of this period. As a result,
    information is disseminated through mass-produced reading materials. People in
    today's world rely heavily on power. Early computers and telephones were used as a
    result. Long-distance data communication became possible during this period. During
    this time period, people invented personal computers, mobile devices, the internet,
    and other innovations. Because of the internet, communication and information
    transfer have become much faster. People's lives have been transformed by social
    networking sites, which allow us to trade and receive information in real time.
    2. Social media is a technology which facilitates the sharing of information,
    ideas, and other content in different parts of the globe. If social media was
    deactivated for a month in the country, what could possibly happen?

    If social media is disabled in our country for a month, many things can go
    wrong, one of which is a loss of communication with others, which is aided by the
    usage of social media. Since we have become dependent on technology, turning
    off social media for a month will make it a little more difficult for everyone around
    the world to exchange and receive information. Because of today's youth and
    technology, all of the country's citizens would become bored if social media was
    turned off for a month. In addition, if adopted, it will result in a huge increase in
    unemployment. We frequently use technology to assist us with our work and to
    make money through particular internet activities. Of course, shutting down social
    media would be a tremendous calamity that would hurt a large number of people,
    given that it is a contemporary trend in our time and we are in the midst of a
    pandemic. During this pandemic, we are carefully observing home quarantine
    sessions, which is where social media communication comes in. We may not be
    able to see or be with our family and loved ones at times, but social media allows
    us to reconnect with them, contact with them online, and inquire about their well-
    being. Even if social media is turned off for a month, the country's employment rate
    will suffer, as will the validity of how we communicate and interact socially.

    3. Social media also poses certain risks especially in the dissemination if false
    information. As a student, how will you use social media to ensure that you
    do not propagate inaccurate and unreliable information?

    First and foremost, do your homework. Make a comprehensive


    investigation. Proceed if you believe it is correct. If you see any consequences,
    make a note of them as well. If you see a pro, be cautious about mentioning them.
    You don't want people to focus on the positive rather than the negative. Second,
    when you share your opinion, make it clear that it is your own. It's to make sure
    that everyone understands what you're saying. If you didn't mention anything, they
    might blame the person who gave you the information. At the very least, you'll be
    able to clarify later. Third, after conducting study, trust your instincts. Stop if your
    analysis revealed that it is harmful to share this knowledge or that it may mislead
    others. Just keep going till you get it. As a student, I should be responsible with the
    things I post online. I need to make sure that my sources are credible to prevent
    the spread of false information and to refrain from creating misunderstandings with
    other people
