This document discusses evaluating the reliability of information found on the internet. It begins by describing three generations: Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials. It then discusses different types of search engines, including typical keyword searches, clustering engines, and hybrid engines. The document outlines some common problems with internet searches, such as biased or inaccurate information. It concludes by providing tips for evaluating the reliability of websites, including checking for validity, currency, content, purpose, and accuracy.

Three Businesses Created by College StudentsPeter Kuperman
While a college student at the University of Pennsylvania, Peter Kuperman displayed business acumen. He saw an opportunity for enterprise when he sold three-plug adapters to fellow students who had limited plug outlets in their dorm room. Like Peter Kuperman, the following people also found an opportunity to start their own businesses while in college:

It is a very large wide area network (WAN) connecting computers and networks around the world.
It makes it possible for millions of users to connect to one another via telephone lines, cable lines and satellites.

356 Chapter 7 Evaluating and Controlling Technology
In this chapter, we consider such questions as these: Does the openness and
"democracy" of the Web increase distribution of useful information or of inac
curate, foohsh, and biased information? How should we handle the latter? How
can we evaluate complex computer models of physical and social phenomena?
Is computing technology evil? Why do some people think it is? How does access
to digital technology ditfer among dilferent populations? How should we control
technology to ensure positive uses and consequences? How soon will robots and
digital devices be more intelligent than people? What will happen after that?
Whole books focus on these topics. The presentations here are necessarily
brief. They introduce issues, arguments, and many questions.
7.1 Evaluating Information
A little learning is a dang 'rous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring;
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.

7.1.1 The Need for Responsible Judgment
What is real? What is fake? Why does it matter?
We can get the wrong answer to a question quicker than our fathers and
mothers could find a pencil.
—Robert McHenry^
There is a daunting amount of information on the Web—^and much of it is wrong.
Quack medical cures abound. Distorted history, errors, outdated information, bad
financial advice—it is all there. Marketers and pubUc relations firms spread unlabeled
advertisements through blogs, social media, and video sites. Search engines have
largely replaced librarians for finding information, but search engines rank informa
tion sources at least partially by popularity and give prominent display to content
providers who pay; librarians do not. Wikipedia, the biggest online encyclopedia, is
immensely popular, but can we rely on its accuracy and objectivity when anyone can
edit any article at any time? On social journalism sites, readers submit and vote on
news stories. Is this a good way to get news? The nature of the Intemet encourages
people to post their immediate thoughts and reactions without taking time for con
templation or for checking facts. How do we know what is worth reading in contexts
where there are no editors selecting well-written and well-researched articles?
Faking photos is not new; photographers have long staged scenes and altered
photos in dark rooms. When we see a video of a currently popular performer sing

circulation of a fake photo on the Internet can start a riot or bring death threats to an
innocent person. Here is a.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
