Getting an accurate picture on various issues is difficult. Any where yo go there is a shortage of information; & even the little information you get is not full or is full of contradictiona. Doctors donot always thoroughly explain the side effects of medicine they gave us; is there a way to get information that can be trusted?
The arrival of the internet was hailed by many as a means of tapping reliable source of information from around the globe. That is possible of course, if you know just where to click your mouse. "As it's best, the internet can educate more people faster than any media tool. As its worst, it can make people dumber faster than any media tool. "Said an editorial in the New york times
The editorial continued "Because the internet has an aura of technology surrounding it the uneducated belived information from it even more. They don't realize that the internet .at its ugliest ,is just an open sewer an electronic conduct for untrusted .unfiltered information .unfortunately ,as the writer pointed out ,there is no software program to delete the trash .
Anyone can put any things on the internet ,in a magazine ,or in a book ,Thus ,we need to use discernment .and educate ourselves so that we do not gullibly believe whatever we read .Those of as we want accurate information have to establish that our sources in reliable .This can take time . but ones we do so and get a more complete picture .we can be sound in our thinking correct in our judgment and confident when making important decision .
the text in italics is an idea of that is added by the blogger of this post .
