You know when there is that kid in your class who pretends to know everything, but doesn’t. Yet his lies are so convincing that you believe him. That is kind of what the internet is turning into. There is so much information out there and so much of it is bogus.
That’s not to say that we don’t gain a lot by having that information out there is just means we have to be more cautious about what we tend to regard as legitimate information. For instance just because you google something and get an answer that supports your viewpoint from some random source, doesn’t mean that the source or the information is correct. There is so much information out there that you can pretty much search for anything and find a corresponding viewpoint. So next time someone validates themselves through google, you take a second step back and tell them their an idiot.
