[QUOTE="David-Karratha, post: 657497, member: 22207"] Don’t be sorry Mate, it happens to us all. It’s embarrassing, but it’s also a good reminder. The internet is a crazy amazing resource, but it’s also made it easier for every dickhead with a theory (or agenda), to be able spread their BS. Once, the idiots stood on street corners yelling at passers by. Now, they spread their BS online, using pretty slick graphics and catchy headlines. One really useful site is called Tineye. You can drop a photo into it and it’ll give you a complete history of where it’s been posted and when. Dropping the “gps battery fire” photo into it, showed it’d been around for years, originally as a warning about iPhones, and then morphing into a couple of other memes. It’s tricky, but we all need to practice a bit of critical thinking, and we ALL need to practice our digital literacy skills. Hope you weren’t offended, that was never my intent. [/QUOTE]
