Mains 2021 Result declared - In or Out?

Anyone having trouble retaining attention in studies...? Clocking 12-14 hours during mains weeks has come down to 1-2 hours max now. Last year I wasted 3-4 months in similar situation so I can see a disaster in making but cant avert it...

History repeating itself first as tragedy and now as farce....

Impact of digital technology as reliable source of input for rational decision making is a debatable issue. Critically evaluate with suitable example. 


How you attempted it in such haste. It says impact being debated. And, then puts critically evaluate and examples too in question header. 

Wrote negative effects:

In professional sphere: can affect duty-objectivity- ex CJI expressed worries about social media influencing judges' decisions

personal sphere->ex fake news-propaganda ->  hatred - mob lynching

positives:

in profession/public spare: ex more data->evidence based policy making ->more rational decisions. Also more participation.


positive in private sphere: e-commerce, entertainment(recommendations)


double-edged sword, rational use needed for rational decision making
