The vast amount of information you can access online is endless! A popular acronym supports this idea- if you ask someone a question, they may respond with JFGI (just freaking google it!)
This is the case in today's online world! Any question you could ever have can be answered by simply typing it into a search engine. Some websites, however, may be more credible than others! They include websites with the ending .gov and .edu. These are government and educational sites. Less reliable sources may end in .com, referring to commercial sites.
When searching the World Wide Web, we must serve as our own filters. You can find basically anything online, and you must decide what you will and will not view. I am very pleased that we have the right to serve as our own filters, because in countries such as China, access is denied on some sites.
The following link is one that gives some examples of comical things people have googled! This will give you an idea of the wide variety of information people use the Internet for!
