Discussion 4 by Yau Yau


Do I often take what I get in Internet as truth? My answer is NO. The internet made it possible though. Everything and I mean 'everything' is at the World Wide Web including shopping per order, learning tools and much other cool stuff. But the problem is...  Are the information inside that web can be trusted?

Since internet is so globalize, we do not know the identity that supply the information for us. It is true that the information is now easily found through the internet but it can also be easily spread too. In this case, the information in the internet can be true at times and false too. Depends on the web we are in. There's a secure info web like 'Emerald' which are heavily protected and only allowed the info to be posted by the professors and all the researchers around the globe. A web like this is safe to believe. On the other hand, some web like the 'Wikipedia' and other independent web that have no authorities, we cannot be too trusting. This is because everyone can change and edited the contents inside that web.

So, in overall, I am not too confident to use the info that is spread across the internet.
