Can the things posted on internet be trusted?


After reading this picture posted by our lecturer, Mdm Helena, on MMLS, we were asked if we often take what is on the internet as the truth without thinking much about it. Well, my take on this is NO. Don't believe or take it as the truth on the internet as something posted on the internet might be a prank. I don't read something in the internet and believe it.

In my opinion, why should someone immediately believe something that is posted in the internet? I think that many people who create websites and all, posting all sorts of things to catch one's attention so that those who created the website could earn big bags of cash. However, anyone is allowed to post anything they want on the internet, its just those reading it believes it or not. One would have to find in many different websites to verify if the information or things posted on the internet is true or not. If you want to be really very sure, go on searching for more info on the same thing and soon, you'll know if its true or not.

  1. Read at one's own risk ! That's what we gotta take note of. Even sometimes, when we rely on group pages in FB for info regarding assignments and such, there's bound to be some mix-up of whether the infos are true or not.

  2. Yeah, and sometimes we ( me atlesat) tend to get lazy to uncover facts so i just live in whatever posted on the internet as true. In most cases it is but in some its not. And its not always that truths can be found. So, oh well.
