This seminar discussed information literacy. In short, information literacy is the ability to access, assess, and use information critically. The ease of accessing the internet has a considerable impact, such as hoaxes. Indiwan, in his presentation, discussed “Overcoming Hoax Wisely”.
“Nowadays it is very rare for people to carry newspapers because they trust social media more, even though social media has mental effects such as NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder), Social Climber, Fear of Missing Out, Addiction, and many more,” Indiwan said.

He also gave some tips for checking the truth of information, such as finding out the source, fact-checking the source of information, checking the date of publication of the information, and checking the credibility of whether it is qualified and reputable.
The second speaker was Winarno. He presented the topic “Opportunities and challenges of Gen Z in the Era of Digital Disruption.” According to him, Gen Z faces a lot of opportunities and challenges because of technological advances.
Digital Disruption itself is a change in digital technology and business models that affect the value proposition of the product or service being sold.
“As Gen Z, you can make changes such as creating a Start-Up, with different innovations and value. So as to provide good quality, so that the existing nominal has a value from the quality of the product,” said Winarno in his presentation.
