Internet Information

The hardest thing for finding information in the internet is that I get frustrated when I can’t find any of the information that I want to find. Mostly when I look something up it is very easy because  it is like the computer can read my mind, but when I can’t find information on a topic that I need I get frustrated and I search in different word phrasing until I am able to find the answer.

When given a specific topic for research that needs to be done. I break down the topic and look for special components to search. Since a topic can be very broad you need to break it down into sub-categories.

The library research course made me realize that not everything in the internet is correct information. I had in mind that anyone can put information and make a website, but I never had that in mind when I am researching a topic. I learned that you have to verify information from websites before you use it . This is very important because if you use that information on a research paper and it is incorrect the unfactual information can affect your grade.

Some websites on the internet are very obvious that the information is not true and that people are not going to believe it. While other websites can be tricky putting information making it seems factual.

Knowing how to find information about the user that posted the information can be very helpful to determine which website to use. If the person that posted the information was a doctor I am most likely to believe it than a person who does not have a degree.  A doctor is more educated so it is most likely that I will believe their information.
