Can information from the internet be relied?

Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it?

That's a hard question to answer.

In the days before the web, when you needed to research a topic, you went to a library and looked through the reference section of the topic you were researching. If you were lucky enough to have a set of encyclopedias, then your task may have been a bit easier.

My advise to anyone who is researching ANY topic, looking for answers, or information is ...

research more than one or two sources on the web. If possible, also research an encyclopedia or library resource as well to verify the facts.

Be aware of the site you are reading, and the person or persons responsible for posting that information.

The bottom line is 'I DO NOT' believe everything I see and read on the Internet." I'll use my common sense.
