I believe that this reading shows real truth. I can’t tell you how many times I have gone onto the internet in search of information about a speech I am doing or a paper I need to write and everything that pops up is irrelevant to what I need. One thing that really caught my eye about this topic was the idea that computers are not humans. Computers do not comprehend a question you want to answer. It is far easier to call someone who can in fact understand what they are asking. While not every person knows everything about everything; each person has there own expertise. How else would the information get on the web in the first place? In addition to this, there are millions of people on the web every day. There may be two people looking for the same material on the web, using different terms in order to find this information. The computer simply cannot understand what people want. It doesn’t know the meaning of each word. It does not understand the wants or meaning of each person. Just by putting in a word in it finds all the articles that have that one word contained in them.
The Internet is something that has grown merely for its entertainment purposes. When it comes to looking for information, let’s say on Google, you have to narrow your search engine. Even once you narrow your source that does not mean you find what you need. The Internet is something that has great interest in the recent years. However, you have to go through hoops in order to find needed information. Should we never use the internet for information? The percentage that it works is low, but the convenience of it is nice.
