Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it? If yes, why? If no, why? Discuss this in your own words.
For this topic, it must be a "No" for me. I would not take what is on the internet as truth without thinking. This is because, we all should know that there is a lot of different kind of peoples in the world, and of course, there must have some of the peoples that like to make out stories and declare it’s a truth.
Spreading news through internet is a very common thing to us, spreading rumors or fake information also very easy as well nowadays. Many people use internet to discuss thing, chatting, gossips and much more, most of them talk based on their feelings, comments, and what they trust its true but not based on valid source of information.
So, it's hard for us to judge or examine the validity or the information is true or not. Moreover, there are people who use internet to spread some fake information in order to reach their purpose or even to harm others.
Besides that, I think we usually encounter the situation of receiving a lot of emails, which we call them "spam" emails. This also one of the ways they spread news and there could be most of it is a fake information. For example, few years back, suppose those who have a hotmail account or MSN should have receive such emails claim that MSN or hotmail is going to charge for using it in the future or after a date, and we suppose to forward the email to all our contacts or our account will be closed and we have to pay for using it. The condition it requires is different when you realize you has been receive same kind of emails even after a period of time. They write it in a "formal" way and claim the writer is the chief officer of MSN or hotmail company. But after the due date, even we did not forward the emails, our account still can be use and it does not happen to charge us for anything. This proves that those emails is actually fake.
As conclusion, information in the internet cannot be trust without thinking much. We must think it over and make sure it's a reliable or valid source before we believe it. Well, here we come to the last discussion, hope we still can share other things in the other time. See you all. =D

Hahaha!! yes! I receive lots of spam mails. Its pretty hillarious that the MSN Spam mail is still circulating even now!This really proves that what is circulated on the Internet is not entirely true and most of the time we need to think carefully before choosing to believe what is on the net.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! I've experienced that MSN scam before too!! But I didn't fell for it, because by looking at the e-mail, you can easily tell it's not officially from MSN. If it is officially from MSN, the e-mail would look well presented as in template or layout wise of the mail.
ReplyDeleteBut i would still remind the users to be careful or what they received in their inbox
I think everyone have that experience too. I do receive a lot of spam mails to. We need to think wisely whether to believe the content in the mail or not to.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you that spreading news through internet is a very common thing to us nowadays.
It can be real or not real, but we still spreading it around. Even thought is not true, but since everyone spreading it around, people will start to believe it's true.
