Have you ever wondered how Colombians perceive the Internet? Based on this question, @PuntoCO Internet (GoDaddy Registry) in alliance with the Centro Nacional de Consultoría has carried out a series of investigations that reaches its sixth edition.


Among the findings of the study, it was found that 9 out of 10 respondents attribute fake news to social networks. But at the same time, it was found that the majority, 46% of those surveyed, believe more in newspapers than in other media.


Similarly, it was found that the frequency with which Colombians visit the web pages of the country's media is high: 40% of the interviewees do so several times a day and 22% once a day.

the 86% statistic is a sobering reminder of how pervasive misinformation has become. it's interesting that the study points to social networks as the main source, yet traditional newspapers are still the most trusted medium. this highlights the ongoing tension between new and old media in the digital age. the high daily visitation to news sites suggests a strong public appetite for information, which makes media literacy even more critical.

World is the latest geometry dash subzero game. The game has tonnes of catchy and well-animated stages, but a different environment! Players must complete a level to unlock the next, unlocking a new island with more levels!

That 86% figure is staggering, but not entirely surprising given how messy social media has become. Honestly, trying to verify everything I read is exhausting. That’s why I’ve been spending more of my downtime on minigame lately. It’s nice to have a space where I can just play some puzzles and not worry about "fake news" or hidden agendas. Just pure relaxation.
