Across different eras, information has continuously and profoundly shaped the way people perceive the world, form beliefs, and construct their identities.
In the past, people turned to canonical texts such as the Bible, myths, and epics to understand the world. These texts gradually formed authoritative narratives that influenced how people perceived truth, values, and their sense of self. Today, however, the sources and circulation of information have changed dramatically, and we increasingly ㄌplace part of our trust in GPT, algorithms, and social media.
On the surface, we seem to live in a more open and free era, where information flows faster and more widely than ever before. Yet what we see, receive, and ultimately come to believe may still be filtered, ranked, and deliberately designed. Information is therefore not merely a medium for transmitting knowledge; it also subtly shapes the way we understand the world, forms our values and identities, and even transforms the ways in which we connect with others.
