the webs abundance of information

The Internet is useful in many ways, it has opened connections to people and information that may have never been possible without the web. With the abundance of information out their on the web, about anything you could possibly want to know about, with different opinions on any topic and just socializing in general I think that everyone knows to be careful on line, some information is more credited that other information.

The mind is an amazing and unique thing, and to be able to share it with people all over the word in an amazing thing. That's why I think that you should be able to publish what ever you want on the Internet, and it is the users responsibility to understand where the information is coming from and the point of view of the informant provided.

Wikipedia is an awesome example of where the web is now, we can update information as it happens. They have a biography of a person and that person dies the next day, the site can be updated immediately. The information is credible as some people like to argue that its not. People discuss what the information is and need to show credible sources for the information to stay up on the screen.
