Studying the dicotomy between these two concepts we have been reflecting how most of us in school have been taught to differentiate facts vs opinions as different natures. (As a black or white situation). This non exhaustive categorisation since there can be factual opinions, or facts that can be opinable made me realise how important it is the approach we get to the very basic concepts we use in the information arena. How much our education stablishes the framework on which we get to know the world outside and how do we prepare ourselves to make some clarity in the whole universe of data, trying to notget lost in the mean time. ]]> 2022-04-05 15:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130912287 Comment on week 4 miguellucea https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130913596  Wildemuth: Recording participants for our observations reminded me of a tricky fact. Observed people may be reluctant at first, as probably everyone, but soon everyone forgets about it. How crazy is this? The fact that we tend to change our behaviour, but then we give up because we are short memory or too lazy to care, is an incredible insight . Is this something that should worry us as researchers? What about potential subjects of research? ]]> 2022-04-05 15:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130913596 Comment on week 5 miguellucea https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130921206  Greifeneder: It is interesting the public connection we all have built between Fake News and Trump. It seems so easy and quick to recognise one with the other to the extent we make comedy all around it. While Fake News might be a danger for public quality access of information I wonder as the paper does, how much % may affect in compare with misinformation as a whole concept. Everyone looks very aware of fake news, mostly when they are followed by others, but I wonder which is the level of awareness we currently have to biases, narrative domination or elite influence in our final decisions. My question is, is fake news helping us to be aware of the difficult access we have sometimes to valuable information, or is it instead pulling away our concern from what really matters? ]]> 2022-04-05 15:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130921206 Comment on week 6 miguellucea https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130923023  Robinson: Sharing the same thoughts of Matt, about the relevance of paper´s dates and how quickly our foresights may be misleaded from real happenings, there a couple of insights that are worth sharing, as probably are universal from this paper. The first one is "too much information can be asdetrimental as too little" How true can this be? And, how difficult is to reach this ideal point sometimes? The fact that we live, work and enjoy in an environment of overinformation or constant spam surrounded by a plethora of stimuli makes me think of the consequences related to the amount of real understnading happening from all this. The second thought brings me back to the working mentality shown in the paper and seen many times today. Working overload, with no times, no limits, no frames, where information, tasks and duties overcome anyone seem far from ideal and despite more common and common. Where thanks to the mediation of technology (in the paper PDA, now smartphones) the frame of time and space is always more a more blur, i wonder what behaviourial consequences this willl have in the long run for everyone. ]]> 2022-04-05 15:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130923023 Comment on week 7 miguellucea https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130928882  With regard to Hagar´s article and the trust/information disjunctive, I think its fair to say that this dicotomy answers clearly to the human condition as it is. During the last years, we have many times forgotten we are more than rational entities. Despite its clear importance, we are more than thoughts, arguments and logics. Data is many times too cold or far to understand. Experts are too smart and too little empathical with the people they communicate to. With this situation, it should not be surprised that many prefer to trust to know, since to some extent we all do it at some point. ]]> 2022-04-05 15:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130928882 Comment on week 8. Personal Field trip miguellucea https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130936866  For my personal field trip I decided to visit the national decorative arts and history museum known as well as "Collin Barracks" in Dublin city centre. Wondering where could be my ideal information centre, I decided to inmerse myself in the history of Ireland, culture, customs and traditions studying the fundamental role museums have in the construction of the imagined communities we named as nations. The museum is very easy, fun and somehow interactive to visit and at least for big fans of history like me, allows one to be inmersed in the different periods that are being related. Thanks to videos, costumes, weapons and demonstrations one can get to know better the past of this country. In my opinion, the best museum in Dublin. Accesible, engaging and free a must visit in this city. ]]> 2022-04-05 15:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130936866 Coment on week 9 miguellucea https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130942754  Welborn´s piece reminded me so quickly to the very discussed current movie "Don´t look up". In both, clear mentions to the difference between slow paced, consensuated and thus empirical science vs fast, individual interest and benefit driven "science" coexist in our society. Inmersed in all this fight appers the concept of peer reviewing, being this, one, if not the main factor, assessing the quality of the literature creation. From all the scientifical process it is relevant that not only patience, reasoning and probably talent are needed but definitely a strong ethical sense. Glory and fame require of a very long pathway, which if not enjoyable, can lead to misleading actions. Pride, money or hidden interest may hurt the deontological code every scientific should follow, bringing social collectivities to misinformation and lack of trust. ]]> 2022-04-05 15:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130942754 Information seeking as a prospect university undergraduate. The process of university application. miguellucea https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2130947330 One of the main protocols we all have been through at least one time in life if not many more. 

  http://informationr.net/ir/26-2/paper901.html Despite being based on postgraduate students this paper has helped me to focus on the importance of everyday-life information seeking and to recognise the extent on which our background makes this "uneasy process" even a more complicated one.

In this discipline, behaviour is remarkably different from dailiy life and depending on who is in front of you, it might swift drastically. Body language is a big thing of course, but in these situation, symbols and the adequate interpretation of them can save or condemn you. There is a huge role of protocol, of traditions and shared values that can either build great alliances or unleash conflict. In this sometimes peculiar and always old-fashioned field, information runs as well with a top-down dynamic following strictly ranks being many times complicated to learn for outsiders. The article I have chosen emphasizes on how important it is to have all these characteristics into account if someone is meant to success in this proffesion. Apparently everyone shows respect to ambassadors and all the fancy world of national representation. Nonethless, the level of prudence and attention to detail are such that really few are really made for this duty. Leaving outside, nobility privileges or inheritances, this job market is opening and offering a great opportunity to renew the way nations and their representatives interact with each other. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiywI3BzY73AhWFYcAKHVEgB-UQFnoECBoQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.law.upenn.edu%2Flive%2Ffiles%2F5460-bolewski----diplomatic-processes-and-cultural&usg=AOvVaw3G6Asl7NrYoKr0gqisogPB]]> 2022-04-12 13:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/miguellucea/c55c95sgqn1d2llg/wish/2140807403
