The existence of the Internet has brought forth a million and one reasons why we ought to love it and as well as a million and one reasons why we should wish it should never has existed.
One thing I can definitely say are one the reasons the people love it is because of its ability to share news and information to everyone that has access to the Internet.
Everything we need or want to know is just a click away. Instant, fast and in whatever style you want, ready for you to choose.
HOWEVER...
As easy it is for us to draw information from the Internet, it is also easy for the public to post up information about a certain object.
So what's truth and whole lies?
For me if I were the check the authenticity of a particular news is by first check whether it is from a recognisable source (e.g National Geographic, Times..etc). These are definitely reliable sources. it's very important that words are able to fool us very easily; i mean after all what are lawyers for? So even though what is on a certain site might sound convincing, it might just be 10% truth and 90% lies.
But thanks to Google Scholar, I were to do research on a certain topic, the best way to get authentic research, I would get my information from there as it contains sites there are actually reliable.
So
It is a yes for me but from sites that are truly really reliable.
