why do people believe everything they read on the net?

I do think that people tend to make up things on the net. I think there are some things are going to truthful and some things thar are not made up. It just really matters as to whether thre are some things that really matter whether they are true or false. i dont think you can take them seriously.

I think some people believe everything on the net because they believe anything and everything!Like what is in the newspaper,the tabloids,magazines,on tv,and what a spouse tells them! I work with a women in her 70's who is like that! It is ridiculous and funny in some ways! It is sad too! She has become so opinionated sometimes,me and other employees don't talk to her much! With other people I think they have nothing better to do and don't have much of a life! That is my answers!

The problem is that people don't realize how easy it is to fake up things on the internet and even worse, people can get hold of information so easily that they can make up stories with part of it using the real facts. That way, it will be more difficult to tell whether the stores are true or not.

I don't think that people do believe everything they read or see on net. Atleast i don't. Whenever i start looking for anything on internet, i do google the stuff out, and almost 10- 12 different sites on the net, so as i can get the real picture. Also after many years, i do have some of my favourite sites, whose material i find always guinuene, i finally do agree with their stuff mostly...

Believing everything is not intellectual, as internet is free for anyone and everyone, to write his or her own views, and everyone has a different view about the same thing..

I guess many people believe in ready information..Many a times, scources aren't checked, they just to go a website like wikepedia or google some required info..I think its always important to read information from Relaible websites otherwise there is a high chance of confusion.

83% of statistics are made up on the spot.

I know what you mean. It reminds me of when I was married to a newspaper reporter and my husband did a fantastical piece about the "marsh monster" -- which they started on the front page. Our daughter believed it was real, because "it was in the newspaper." It took the longest time to get her to understand it was fiction.

I am sure that sometimes people want to fix on what they want to believe. And they can find a source on the internet to tell you anything they want to think is true -- or at least work on convincing them. At that point, there is no percentage in making a case to them. It's very frustrating.

I don't believe nothing on the net that people say. Its the INTERNET Who would believe a person on the net that is across state and u never met.!

Hey,

Well some people think that the Internet always has correct information, that is what I actually used to think when I was smaller. That is just the way you tend to think, especially if you are new to the Internet. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!
