After the breakfast and lunch meetings, I had whole afternoon to explore Tokyo. I just decided to walk and walk. I ended up waling over 17,000 steps. 

 

 

 

It began snowing yesterday afternoon and continued until this morning. I'm observing the outside from my room, and there's not much snow, perhaps a couple of inches at most. I'm curious to see how well Tokyo is equipped to handle snow. The temperature is around 34°F, so some streets may be slippery.

 

Tully's Coffee is alive and well in Japan. Did you know the first website of Tully's Coffee was built and hosted by PSPINC back in 1997?

 

 

 

When you get off the train after a long ride, all passengers on the train pick up their trash to dispose of it at the trash bins on the platform. Tokyo Station is the last stop, and the Japan Trail cleaning staff is famous for efficiently cleaning the entire train in just a few minutes. The fact that all passengers pick up their trash contributes to this process.

The concept that people shape their beliefs on what they want to hear and believe originated from traditional print media, like books, magazines, and newspapers. The addition of broadcast media, such as radio and television, and the subsequent proliferation of the Internet, websites, social media platforms, and video distribution have further influenced this concept. While traditional media formats have featured people's opinions, the rise of the internet has democratized information dissemination, making it easier for people to share their perspectives.

When someone shares information on the internet and attracts a considerable following, that person transforms from a mere individual to an "influencer" capable of shaping many others' opinions. The greater the number of followers, the more impactful the information becomes. However, it's risky if inaccurate information spreads without adequate verification.

Even though there are plenty of fact-checking methods, information doesn't always go through thorough verification. So, it may lead to a popular influencer conveying misinformation and users accepting it as true. Similarly, people may perceive ads as factual by repetition, even if it's untrue. 

Even though they're supposed to be reporting facts, traditional media outlets like newspapers, television, and radio will often prioritize information that appeals to their audience for the sake of viewer ratings. Despite the enormous amount of information out there because of the internet, comprehensive fact-checking remains insufficient. Therefore, people should critically evaluate information from all media sources, including newspapers and television, and make informed judgments.
