Be cautious of the site you are reading
WEEK 12
Be cautious of the site you are reading:
Internet is the greatest invention which provides lots of information about news, social media, education, historical events and so on that cannot be expressed by words. There is no such information that we don’t get from the internet and this is the main thing which makes the internet more popular day by day. But the thing is from the source we are taking our information is it legitimate or not. Nowadays it is not a big deal for anyone to change the information and publishing the wrong information. Anyone who has the basic skills of computer operating is able to post an article, although the article is full of wrong information it does not matter (Example: Wikipedia, blogs, face book promotion ads etc). Because of small numbers of officially authorized issues (outside copyright law) are leading the web.

From my experience, I don’t prefer to take what is on internet as truth. Before taking any information from the internet I always do research more than three sources on the web which help me to come up with a clear concept about my research topic. But Most of the people have tendency to believe what they see in the internet. I have seen most of the people especially students for their assignment purposes, whatever is written on internet they just do copy and paste without thinking anything. They don’t even think also the site information is accurate or not.
Recently, my friend did a research about some exercise centers. She visited one of those exercise centers just because she wanted to see whether there service good or not. After visiting there, she realized 60% information that they posted in their website it’s not true.
Therefore I would like to say that, before taking any information from any website, we have to be cautious about the site that we are reading and be sure to acquire information from reliable sources like official websites. Most important thing, we should use our common sense before stating something that we got from internet as a fact. So that, making the right decisions, we should have the right information.
