The internet and knowledge

While working at the library today, I overheard a man teaching the woman sitting next to him at the computers about how to use the Internet and email. He said something that really struck a chord with me- "Almost all of human knowledge can be found on that Internet."
Wow, how true is that? It is scary and awesome to think that everything we as race know can be found with a few keystrokes and a good browser. I feel privileged to be able use that vast resource, but the key word to that statement is "human." Because humans think and create and then put it on the Internet, what is there can be flawed, mistaken or just plain wrong. Humans make mistakes in thinking, in typing and in believing. Those who use this great thing called the Internet must be discerning consumers who filter and process what is presented to see if what is there can be believed. Be careful- we are only human.
