When i read this topic at MMLS, instantly i remember what Mdm. Helena said about wikipedia during lecture class Media Appreciation on 1st semester. When the students said they want to search the information at wikipedia, she said that wikipedia is *bs. I'm laughing at that time because since i came to MMU, wikipedia was like my textbook. All information were took from there. But eversince i knew that all information from wikipedia can be edited by anybody, i start to prevent myself from searching it (but until now i'm still open wikipedia). If you ask me "Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it?", my answer is 50/50. Nowadays, youngster often take internet as their main source of information. It's fast and easy to find information. I'm also one of them who make internet as a main priority for researching rather than reading books or newspaper. But i did'nt trust 100% on the information because i don't sure the contain is right or wrong. However, if an official website from big organisation which is well known to the world, i trust it. for example:
www.amnesty.org
www.unrwa.org
If the website show the concrite proof that what they say is true, it can be accepted. But in this world, it is hard to find somethig which is trully can be trusted. People can change the information for their own good. Hence, i cannot say that i really trust it or i do not believe it at all.
