The problem isand this is true of books and every other mediumwe
dont know whether the information we find [on the Web] is accurate
or notSo we have to teach people how to assess what theyve found.
Thats a skillwhich is important no matter what the medium. Its just
more dramatic in the World Wide Web, where theres so much
juxtaposition of the good stuff and not-so-good stuff and
flat-out-wrong stuff or deliberate misinformation or plain
ignorance. Vinton Cerf
