The difference between hearing and listening is that hearing is just noticing words that are put out there without giving them much thought, while listening is paying close attention to each word and analyzing what is said. We make choices about what we listen to through our lives. People tend to guide themselves by very well-known characters in media or citizens who have experience and high education levels or even wealthiness because it gives them a sensation of credibility due to their status. The government or celebrities can also influence people due to the support and loyalty they give to them.

They think it can also be harmful because the more the technology evolves, the fewer skills we develop.
