Information

Thanks to the internet, people have more access to more 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 its reliability and the qualifications of the person who wrote it. If we don't know its source, information is not much good to us.
1. Do people need to know the source of any information before they use it?
I think they should know the source to tell if it is reliable or not
2. Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your postition with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

When gathering information from the internet you should always check if it is reliable or not. Using information that is not reliable may be something bad.Searching up a certain topic and later being mis informed is not good for the further future.

While writing something like a research paper or something and you need to look up a certain something it should always be from a website that is legit. Wikipedia is a great source of information and such. If you get false information you are misinforming yourself and others. Some may realize it is false or incorrect and you will get called out on it.

Checking on information throughly is a good way to tell if it is reliable or not. Getting information from any random site that doesn't seem too confirming is a good way to tell how good your information will be. Looking up something and find a the information stating the same thing is a good way to tell aswell. There are many sorts of ways to tell if information will be reliable or not before you confirm with yourself that the information is correct.

False information will bring many downsides to what you know about a topic. There might be many people who are not aware that there is false information or misleading information in the internets. This means that thee are many people out there who do no know the correct information. This is way you should always check your sources to make sure the information is reliable.

Getting reliable information is very important at the end. Knowing false information is not good. When looking up information, that is why you should always make sure its correct. It is best for every especially the person being informed about a topic.
