Thanks to the Internet, people have more access to more information than at any other time in history. People can instantly find information on almost any topic in the time it takes to type a couple of words and click a mouse. But we often know so little about the source of this information, including its reliability and the qualifications of the person who wrote it. If we don't know its source, information is not much good to us.
1. Do people need to know the source of any information before they use it? Yes, it's better because you know if it's RELIABLE OR NOT
2. Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experiences and observations.
Reliable Sources:
The Internet allows you so many opportunities to make your life easier. At the drop of a hat you can get information. Information is so easy to access it allows you to become an amazing writer, or whatever you want to be. But how can you know if it's reliable or not.
When you know it's reliable you are allowed to use it, at least for essays and such. A teacher wants you to use reliable information not just information you make up, what teacher would? When you have essays to write you can just use things you made up.
A reliable source will give you valid information to use and you know it's true. You can't go around and claim something without sufficient facts and everything. You can't be a reliable person without reliable evidence. You need information on things to know what your doing.
In any given instant you also need information to know what to talk about, you can just be completely biased and everything. You need some information to know what to talk about. Don't go willy nillying around giving your two cents about nothing you know about.
You just need sufficient evidence in everything you do. That means a reliable source of someone who knows what they're talking about. Don't go around just talking about things you don't know anything about. Get a reliable resource!
