Internet information

How many times have you ever tried to search for a topic on the internet and found misinformation?
Misinformation it is common!! It happens because of the new technology that most of people has computer at home and anybody can create a web page, a blog, and post any information and thoughts online. A student from Africa can find information that an American person wrote. The entire world can take a look on whatever information. Image that i was looking for information about a candidate that i want to vote, and i found bad information, such as that he or she is muslin. Should i trust?
For me it is hard to trust website that does not have clear information. However, because of the easily access of internet, most of people would use the internet for researching, rather than going to the library and spending time looking for the right book.
I am an internet lover and because of the easily access of searching, it is hard to not use, but be aware that misinformation might have.
