Introduction

Some examples of good and questionable

???

- An opinionated site like blogs. For example :

yahoo answers

- Wikipedia, where people can just edit the pages whenever they want to

Good - An authorized author or company name somewhere on the page - Correct Facts For Example: IF it said a robot being built in the 1600 it is obviously wrong

Websites - What do they tell you and is it true?

Here are seven ways to check:

Is the information relevant to what you are searching for?

Is the information authorised ?

Does the site show when it was made?

Is the information told in a person's point of view?

Is the information clear or very confusing?

Is the information suitable for your age?

Is the information biased in some way?

Remember that opinionated websites (blogs, etc) may not be as useful because they are basically opinions not facts

The Producer of the work -Everybody can write there own web page but that doesn't necessarily mean the facts that they've written are true - Check if there is a name of a company or person on the website - The name will either be on the header or footer, if you've searched everywhere and still can't find it, it doesn't mean the website is not good to use, but it gives it a bigger chance of it being bad

For example read the text and see the picture which one is right and questionable

prototype soldier for use in resolving the conflicts of nations.
