They’ve grown up online. So why are our kids not better at detecting misinformation?

  • Absolutely.

    The US does not teach much critical thinking, as another poster pointed out. We de-emphasize the humanities and make STEM rote memorization based.

    Why they think kids should just be better at it than grown adults idk

  • Critical thinking is not the same as being immersed in a medium. This article conflates the two.

    There maybe a correlation at some level, because you cant critically think about a medium without any exposure.

    Especially early adopters might have more critical thinking skills, in general, because they seek out new things and aren’t subject to everyone just having a phone. Thinking the status quo isn’t good enough or could be better is a critical thought.
