Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it? If yes, why? If no, why? Discuss this in your own words.

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.
