Do you often take what is on the Internet as TRUTH with our thinking much about it? If yes, why? If no, why? Discuss this in your own words with recent personal examples.
This is the topic which I need to discuss with my team members. If you ask me, I will reply honestly that I will rely on the information on certain websites. But, for sure not those from Facebook or Twitter and Friendster. This is because the above sites are social sites and most of the users of those sites like to put some false information to all the people and majority of the people will tend to believe blindly without knowing they are invalid ones. Somehow, I do also believe some information through th internet. The reason is simply because nowadays it seems that everyone will rely on the information gathered on wikipedia, google, yahoo,etc. For example, if we want to conduct some research on our assignment, we will always type the keyword into google sites. After that, we will filter out the websites given and will tend to focus on the top sites found. Next we will rely on the resource found at those pages. This shows that no matter how, people nowadays surely will depend on the internet and those information are considered to be the truth since everyone is following them. As a result, I believe that the internet do provide genuine information(truth) but at the same time it will also provide fake information(wrong information). Hence, we as the new generation of the internet user, we must learn to filter the information so that we will not easily being treated as the idiots by those hackers or even the people who spread the wrong information to us. Come to think about it, otherwise the situation will be more critical and it will reach a very dangerous level if we do play our role well in using the internet.

ReplyDeleteYup, nowadays everyone seems like to rely on the information gathered on wikipedia, google, yahoo,etc. Even the lecturer or other professionals also have to rely on internet.
ReplyDeleteThat is true. Even me, when i search any information, i choose to believe info from Wikipedia. This is because Wikipedia's information have prove about which note and what kind of link that they based on, which means the information is not written based on their opinion, but on the truth/fact.
