Impact on personal life (2)

Disadvantages are also associated with the impact of decision making on personal lives in the information age. I have listed these drawbacks below.
  • Some product reviews may be misleading
              - A lot of people buy products online based on how the product fares in the review section. However, this review section is not always reliable, as the seller may have forged some of the reviews or rating in order to promote sales of a product, or a previous customer may have made a sarcastic review which could be misinterpreted, and someone may in fact think that that sarcastic reviewer is in fact promoting a product. For this reason, online product reviews are not as all reviews are legitimate and so can be misleading sometimes.
  • If someone is blacklisted, they will be denied the privilege to take out a loan or mortgage
              - Decisions regarding whether or not payday loan companies loan out money to an individual can be made within minutes, and if the individual has been blacklisted in the past, they may be deprived from such privileges like taking out loans because of this. This blacklisted status would not only affect the individual ability to take out payday loans, but they would also be denied the choice of taking out a mortgage because of this.
