lifehacker.com: As long as the web has existed, this advice has rung true: “Don’t believe everything you see on the internet.” Whether it’s a personal blog, a tweet, a YouTube video, or a TikTok, anyone can say anything on here, and it’s tough to know whether or not they’re right (or even telling the truth).

Technology is really scary. I often feel like we are innovating more quickly than the culture is ready for. In the past decade or two, it seems like advancements have constantly been made in so many fields that we as a society are not properly able to understand and adjust to these. Deepfake AI technology is known by people into technology, but there are most certainly many people who know very little about what the technology is capable of. This shows that we need to start teaching media literacy to younger children. This is definitely something that should have already been taught, as the majority of people are misusing or being swayed far too easily by social media and don't know how to properly interact with people on it. Now that opinions can be even more easily swayed with deep fakes, we really need to teach people to start being more cautious and not believe everything they see immediately. If this is taught starting at a younger age, it will hopefully be at least a bit effective.
