Technology Blog - Sunday

What an incredible Husky Football win last night. It was truly an amazing thing to witness. So why am I bringing this up in a blog about technology? Well, being the big time Husky fan that I am, I enjoy to reading about the team after victories. I get most of my information about the game not from newspapers, but online sources. These would include online news and sports sites, and also fan message boards. Back before the internet, a person’s primary source of news would come from a newspaper or TV. This could be limiting as people were only being exposed to a few perspectives on issues. Now with the internet, everyone can share their opinion. I like to go on Husky Football message boards to see what other fans like me are saying about the team. In this online community, everyone has a voice. People can share opinions, links, and any other thoughts they choose to. The internet has truly revolutionized the way we share and gain information. There are troubling aspects to this, however, as credibility issues begin to arise. With all this information at your fingertips, it is sometimes difficult to determine what is credible and what is not. People must be careful with what they find online, as what may seem to be reliable might turn out not to be.
