The 15 worst Internet hoaxes of 2014 – and where the pranksters are now

If 2013 is "a year of virus mischief", you should call it the year 2014 - a bit more a year, a bit more wise, even more ridiculous tricks?

After all, this is the year of the rise of false journalism industry: cynical (and informative!) Business

America in the 19th century was a mischievous golden age. According to Kimbrew McLeod (New York University Press, 2014), the author of "Pranksters: Mischief in the Modern World" focuses on learning and mastering knowledge through science, personal experience and observations, We have increased the number of people seeking phenomena. You can judge yourself. Furthermore, as the literacy rate rises, more people are familiar with concepts such as perpetual movement and want to see a machine that implements it.

America in the 19th century, like other areas, is the main place of this mischief. In his book "Naughty: Mischief in the Contemporary World", Kimbrew McLeod reveals the process of many people in the age of enlightenment.

In a survey, publishing the Internet and forging it is as easy as clicking on the "About" or "Disclaimer" page. If you think you are willing to believe that mischief seems to come from sincere ignorance or misunderstanding, this is no longer so. Headlines such as "Casey Anthony was hurt by the truck" spread through traditional matting. Are you somewhat suffering from this situation from you, Medium and Twitter advanced user readers like me? Are not we all right? Are those who live in the place you live are as effective as yours and belief systems, seeing that you are seeing things you do not see, do not read? Maybe you can not see the big picture?
