?? Trust ... but verify

Our world has become a biased, untruthful and self serving environment and the challenge for us today is to separate truth from fiction. 

• we communicate to change other's behavior
• advertising is geared to 'convince' you that a purchase will change your life for the better
• TV's sole purpose is to sell advertising - their #1 income source

Here are examples of various forms of communication and information and their hidden purpose:

• TV commercials are drug/medical related - so you ask your doctor "what about this of that"
• surveys by product providers - biased to support their product
• free apps for mobile phones - to sell pop-up ads based on users
•
