All information, whether in print or by byte, needs to be
evaluated by readers for authority, credibility, purpose,
currency, objectivity, and usability. "The World Wide Web
can be a great place to accomplish research on many
topics, but putting documents or pages on the Internet is
easy, cheap or free, unregulated and unmonitored. There
is a famous Steiner cartoon published in the New Yorker
(July 5, 1993) with two dogs sitting before a terminal
looking at the computer screen. One says to the other: "On
the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog." The great wealth
that the Internet has brought to so much of society is the
ability for people to express themselves, find one another,
exchange ideas, find peers worldwide they never would
have met otherwise, and, through hypertext links in
Webpages, suggest so many other people's ideas and
personalities to anyone who comes and clicks. There are
some real "dogs" out there, but there's also great
treasure."
