Topic Discussion 4 - Internet as a truth? Maybe.
Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it? Maybe. Well it's depends. Yeah the internet can be use for anybody and anybody can pretty use it. So yeah maybe some of the information can be manipulated but I think that the Wikipedia can be trusted, with accuracy of the information is 90% true. Come on, think again. If the internet can't be trusted, isn't book, TV and radio can be same? The only reason why I can believe some of the internet information is that it is free from control of company. You may heard from the newspaper, we can check in the internet is it true or not because if the event really occurred then there must be witnesses. Then the witnesses write it up in their blog or what so ever and put picture of that event. Well even so we have picture to back up our information that we found, we can't completely believe what do we see. With current technology such as Photoshop, picture can be edited and manipulated they way you want with realistic picture. So yeah, eyes can fool you. To believe the Internet or not, that have to depend on your experience and don't just simply believe everything. Good judgment is a need.
