An image-centric world

We now gain a huge amount of our knowledge through images, and that’s not all bad. Many people learn and retain information better through images. But because we are likely to believe what we see, digital images (which may be altered or out of context) may be contributing to a post-truth world.

Is the problem the images? In our image-centric world, is there a different impact on our brains? Do we think emotionally instead of rationally when we understand ‘the news’ in this way?
