(Malfunction, Misinformation and Disinformation)
MALFUNTION
A malfunction occurs when something doesn't work as intended or expected. It's like when a piece
of machinery or technology doesn't operate correctly, often due to a fault or defect. Malfunctions
can range from minor inconveniences to significant disruptions, depending on the context. They
can happen in various systems, from electronic devices to complex industrial equipment.
Addressing malfunctions usually involves troubleshooting to identify the problem and finding a
solution to fix it and restore normal function.
DISINFORMATION
Disinformation refers to deliberately spreading false or misleading information with the intention
to deceive or manipulate others. It's often used to influence opinions, sow discord, or achieve
political or social objectives. Recognizing and combatting disinformation is crucial for maintaining
informed and democratic societies.
