Abstract

Personal development is no longer measured by the physical accumulation of information, but by the ability to extract necessary, reliable, and useful information from it. In an information-saturated environment, people are under dual pressure: on the one hand, opportunities for acquiring knowledge are expanding, while on the other, manipulative technologies and fake news limit a person's right to make independent decisions. Therefore, media literacy is becoming a prerequisite for personal development. It requires critical thinking and a critical approach to perceiving each piece of information.
