THANKS TO THE INTERNET, PEOPLE HAVE MORE ACCESS TO INFORMATION THAN AT ANY OTHER TIME IN HISTORY. PEOPLE CAN INSTANTLY FIND INFORMATION ON ALMOST ANY TOPIC IN THE TIME IT TAKES TO TYPE A COUPLE OF WORDS AND CLICK A MOUSE. BUT WE OFTEN KNOW SO LITTLE ABOUT THE SOURCE OF THIS INFORMATION, INCLUDING IT RELIABILITY AND THE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT. IF WE DON'T KNOW ITS SOURCE, INFORMATION IS NOT MUCH GOOD TO US.

ASSIGNMENT

1. DO PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THE SOURCE OF ANY INFORMATION BEFORE THEY USE IT?
2. PLAN AND WRITE AN ESSAY IN WHICH YOU DEVELOP YOUR POINT OF VIEW ON THIS ISSUE. SUPPORT YOUR POSITION WITH REASONING AND EXAMPLES TAKEN FROM YOUR READING STUDIES, EXPERIENCE, OR OBSERVATIONS.

IN THIS TIME OF CENTURY WE AS PEOPLE HAVE AN ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY THAT EVEN KIDS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY LEARN AND EXPLORE ITS CONTINENT. SOMETIMES WE ARE IN A CERTAIN PAGE AND SUDDENLY THERE THIS PAGE THAT POPS OUT OF NOWHERE. WE ARE JUST WONDERING WHY THIS TYPE OF SOURCE IS EVEN IN THAT WEBSITE. WE SHOULD NOT USE IT BECAUSE WE WILL NEVER KNOW IF IT CAN CAUSE YOUR COMPUTER A VIRUS OR OTHER.
