Using the internet to make decisions can be risky. To avoid these follow these simple steps:
Steps
- Use "common" sense. This simple tool will allow you to filter information that is not correct from the correct.
- Cross-check. Reading from more one source allows for the correction of mistakes, errors and malicious intent.
Go to the source. Using a real library, real people and your legs can be positive steps in gathering information that is free from errors.
Tips
- Face value is never face value. The only facts you should accept at face value are ones you have requested and paid for, i.e., an education. That said, check the teacher or professor's source. You'd be surprised how many are incompetent or have their facts clouded by a conflicting agenda.
Warnings
- Media outlets should be treated with the same caution.
