            This article covered a recurring issue today that can be found in examples of itself all over the Internet. This issue is the credibility of information posted on the Internet. More often than not many people look to the Internet as a beacon of credible information. This article’s purpose is to point out the fact that this is not so. Many people have used such information in reports, papers, and essays. They all have unknowingly put their trust into a source where everyone in the world has access to it and it is virtually impossible to monitor or regulate the information that is posted on the Internet. This article points out ways and techniques to avoid being scammed over the Internet and to weed out credible information from information that is good and useful.

 

            I think that we could all take a very important message from this article because there are so many instances in today’s world where if we don’t know the answer to a question we lay our full reliance upon websites such as Wikipedia and Google. We must all realize that there is so much information that is exchanged between internet mediums such as Google and Wikipedia that we can never have any idea where this information originated from or its credibility.
