 What is
it that worries you most about the Internet?
censorship?
commercialisation?
computer
viruses?
copyright
infringement?
pornography?
privacy
invasion?
technology
haves and have-nots?
terrorist
information?
As an
Internet user for the last five and half years for email, news and
humour, naturally, but particularly for research, I myself have been
paying keen attention to another topic.
In
brief, my interest can be encapsulated in this question: how reliable is
the information which you find on the Net?
Many of
you will remember that I have mentioned a couple of times already in
Bikwil the dangers of carte-blanche acceptance of everything you
read on the Net. Well, along the way I’ve been collecting opinions and
advice on the whole question of Net credibility, and my
Web Line
column in this issue brings together what I have learned so far.
Though
longish, my material might be of interest not only to general Internet
truth seekers, but also to students and educators, parents, aunties,
grandfathers . . .
