Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it?

my opinion is that we shouldn't trust the internet that big. not all of them are true, some of them are just thoughts from several peoples, but some of them are true. A reliable sources of article is needed if we want to trust an article on the internet, like if it is from a research company or is it just an opinion from peoples around the globe...

Absolutely not, because not every website in the internet are reliable. Information that comes from news website is the example that usually gives information base on facts e.g cnn.com, detiknews.com, kompas.com, bbc.com etc. But forums, blogs, or any other website that base on user or people information and thoughts were not reliable yet as long as they write or they put source that comes from any reliable sources.

well, in my opinion we must thinking twice about that. Because there some bad people made the 'truth' article but actually they made the article just for fun. I ever search the article from internet for my assignment, but there's something absurdly words from the article and i almost believe the article, then i ask my friend, is that the article correct? and my friend said no, the article really really spoof article, and after that i never believe article from internet. If have to search article from internet maybe i will ask my friends before or my lecture.

so i disagree to take article or everything without thinking much before i decide. We need make sure before we take wrong decision.

In my opinion, we must thinking twice. Do not always believe on what is in internet today. Because out there some bad people use internet just to make controversy. For me, myself, i never trust what internet says, if it is first time i see the information, and i will "googling" to get more information that related to the first information, just to make sure it is true or not. If i found there is many information related to the first information that i get, and the other information supporting the first information, than i believe it. But if, other information supporting, but my logical thinking does not believe it and i don't believe it.

Never trust everything on internet before you get other information that supporting what you see there. Actually, these day, internet can be use to make provocation. So we need to make sure that everything that we see in internet is true or not, before we take a wrong decision.

Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it ? If yes, why?If no, why ?

I think we must thinking twice before believe the truth about what internet says or the information within it. Actually I often believe what internet says, but I have to compare it with the same information from another source. It make me not so fast to believe but make me critically think and try to make the differences within the right information or fake information.

This is my review for this topic. Summary I often believe what internet says but I have to think twice to find or to know the truth about those information.

I don't think people care about the truth at all, or at least they don't expect to find it from a blog. The truth is sort of subjective anyway, if you think about it. I mean I could find facts that back up what I say anywhere. it's about business and marketing in the age of the internet, but it's exactly what you're talking about here. The internet (and specifically bloggers and readers/commenters on blogs) has opened up the fast lane for calling out BS. This doesn't necessarily reduce the amount of BS out there, but it levels the playing field in terms of percentages. More truth is brought to the front faster. Maybe not as fast as the BS, but the more bloggers are called out and questioned, the more they have to step up with honesty, credibility and support for their claims to maintain their status.

But I honestly do hope that the future does bring some more truth to the internet for the mere fact that so many people naively accept everything they read without thinking twice about it.
