Critical Thinking of Internet Users and Trust in the Information Sources: Comparison of the Survey Results between Slovakia and Ukraine

Abstract

The paper focuses on a summary of the views of Slovak and Ukrainian respondents on Internet sources. We investigate whether they trust the video. We verify differences in attitudes to the statement: " If I see a video with a person, I believe what he/she is saying." We also test their relationship to the Internet as a source of information; and whether he/she thinks the Internet can make people a better-informed person. The paper suggests the need to draw attention to new possibilities of video editing and counterfeiting. It indicates the need to include in ICT training services that verify photo editing and verify that videos have been edited.
