I have my own presentation about article entitled " I just google it" .. there is some comments and questions
from one of the audience about the presentation and I have to answer his questions and responds his
comments in one small paragraph. I will upload the presentation and the article for you to find some answers
and some points for the discussion.
- the comment of this person :I wondered about the folk theories in general , so I read the whole study. It is an
interesting study, with richness of knowledge and new terms.
I like how they Inspired by Ann Swidler’s idea of culture as a toolkit, ”which provides a relatively wide repertoire
of “strategies for action” , so people can deploy to navigate everyday life in ways that are best attuned to their
individual circumstances.”
The methodology of the study is a great!
It really has shown positive correlations between news use and income and education, so targetingthe
selected British areas increased the chances of identifying news avoiders. Persuasive!
The leading question, what’s the main differences between folk theories and scientific theories, when we study
the information sources of public issues??
Also the researchers say there is a different between algorithmic ideologies and folk theories in info’s sources,
what do you think the differences?
