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.
Finding information or news in the internet is quite easy nowadays. With just a click, you will get a lot of information that you want to find but have you ever think about the information that you found is true or untrue. Honestly, is quite hard to judge the info that you found is true or untrue, because you wouldn't really check all the details of the writer. For me, I seldom believe the information that show on internet, even thought some of them might be true, but i will choose not to trust all.
We can't deny that the internet had bring a lot of benefits to the society, everyone can share their information together, connecting each other in different place. Almost everyday, there will have a lot of news and information update in different networking site, thus people will follow up the information and news that they read in internet. More over, people like to find information from some networking site that is mainly for searching information, such as Wikipedia. Do you know that Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. If it is like this, the information that we get to find will not be that accurate, but there's still a lot of people like to find information with Wikipedia.
Have you ever received any mail saying that you have will win a grand prize, and ask you to meet up to take your prize. Will you believe it?? For me definitely i will feel like it's a trap, i will just delete it, what if other peoples received it and they believe it. They will fall into the trap, end up they will lost their money or even worst. Is a must for us to be aware whenever we received mails from others, don't simply click it, it might be a trap. Information that we read from the mail sometimes might be untrue, maybe is just a rumor that spread around.
Is a choice for us to believe the information or not to, therefor we need to think wisely before we choose to believe it. That's all for my last post. =)
yeah, its definitely difficult to judge whether that certain ifo is true or false especially when we are searching for something that is beyond our knowledge and requires expertise. One thing that I find really hard to judge whether the info is true or false is health related articles on the internet. There are so many of them and each has websites have like different opinions and health tips. But this problem can be solved if we are able to find a trusted website. however, how true are the facts in a trusted website? lets take wikipedia as an example. Although its contents can be edited by users, Wikipedia undoubtedly remains one of the major source for information.Wikipedia in a way can be considered as a trusted web. It is undeniable that everyone takes information from wikipedia regardless of how true are the facts in there.i'm sure that everyone including you and me have searched and believed in the information thats in wikipedia
ReplyDeleteAlthough there are many people use the 'wikipedia', (Including me~ XD) I am still not fully trust this source since it can be re-edited by some other people...
