Experts are accomplished persons in their area of study. We often receive very interesting forwards telling us how something is bad for us and another thing is good for us, which supposedly comes from such experts. We then heed this advice and follow what’s being said in the message. However, are we doing more harm than good? How do we know that this message is not simply a piece of fake news?
According to Dr. Shaneabbas Jaffer we need to stop and ask ourselves the following questions before accepting any forwards we receive:
1. Is this person a real person?
2. Is this person an expert on the matter?
3. Did this person really say what is quoted?
