How much do you depend on the net for information?  |
|
 I find myself always getting back on the net to find information. as i went for a window shopping earlier this morning in my country. i looked for cellphone i am planning to buy. and my choice of phone has widened. and so i get back online to search out more information about those phones and see what are their specs.
I look for reviews and even for the prices of those phones in our local malls. thankfully some offline local shops here have their website so i can refer on their website to compare for prices. i have some money saved already. i need more time to save more. but sometimes i feel that the net is not enough.
like for medical topics and conditions. though they give us some good information but i think that doctors are the better source of information and sure source of reliable information. cause i feel that some information on the net is not that upto date and not always reliable. and sometimes we may understood what we have read and so it is better to go to doctors for medical information.

2.  DeenaD (2184) | 4 months ago |  You know, it's funny. We were just talking about this at my house the other day. When I was younger, we had to use encyclopedias to look things up, and sometimes we went to the public library to do research for projects. Now it seems that everything you could ever want to know (and more), you can find the answer on the Internet. I know I get all of my information there! I don't think I could ever live without it.

|
| hotsummer (2756) | 4 months ago | yeah that is true. we don't have to get out of the house to find or get information. before i have to find time to get out of home to search the prices of gadgets and appliances i wish to buy in the malls. now i can know them before i even seen the products on the malls. and it is really helpful, i thought before internet is not that helpful. when i learned how much information we have here i am really glued to the internet. | |

3.  lordcaocao2025 (567) | 4 months ago |  Well me myself always check the net every time i want to buy something. Maybe some information is not up to date, but it give me a big picture about something that i want to buy.
And if its blog, i usually make a comment and asking the writter about the most update information. Most blogger usually reply my question, and off course, i always search more then 1 site to make a comparation

| hotsummer (2756) | 4 months ago | it is all time consuming also to search on the net. but still it saves us more time to search on the net than in any where else. so the net is so much useful | |

| 6. zandi458 (6009) | 4 months ago |  Not all the net info can be trusted. Maybe we can only take 50% of what we read. The source of information is dubious as they are a lot of rubbish floating in cyberspace. Personalized attention from our real world doctor is the best choice.

|
| hotsummer (2756) | 4 months ago | yes maybe that is true. but i think it is still dependable and we just have to use our common sense i guess in judging what to believe and which are not. but generally if ask people around my place for direction of some places, i will not get any thing. at least on the net i can find lots of it and get to compare the info i got and just from that i can my a conclusion of what to believe and how to get there from the information i gathered. and so i think more than 50% of what i am getting are dependable and accurate and correct.
i once asked my cousins here is the Manila Ocean Park. As it was the first time we had it here in the philippines, It is like the Ocean Park of Singapore, as the engineer from Singapore was the one who was given the job to build that ocean park.
They all don't know where it is given. they thought it was in this place but i check it out on the net it was not. and the net said it is on the other place. and i asked my friend and he went on that Ocean Park and teh net was right. he he. | |

| 7. zeal_jason (116) | 4 months ago |  This is an interest topic,i have to admit that i depend on internet for searching information a lot.Nowadays,internet is much more convenient compare to other ways such as library research or consult the specialist. Then it become my primary source for researching.Although some time the information that we get from the internet may not be so accurate,we can still compare and use our command sense to distinguish the correct information.There are also other ways to find information online such as email and chatting.Mylot is a way to get information and gain knowledge too.
| |
| |
|
|
| hotsummer (2756) | 4 months ago | just we have to compare information from one site to another so that we can verify the accuracy of the given information as some people will post incorrect information and some have not been updated and so we need to see if the information is still up to date. | |

| 8. AndrewFreyne (2599) | 4 months ago |  I have come to rely on the Internet now for all types of information. I particularly like to use Google Earth when I am trying to find the address of a location. These are neccessary tools I think in today's modern society. You can virtually find anything online if you have a good search and so forth. I think that in terms of shopping, items are a lot cheaper too. There's no middle man as it were! Andrew

| hotsummer (2756) | 4 months ago | i don't use google earth that much. i don't like. though it is good for other countries. but the google earth philippines is not showing enough detailed information. and so i think that they need to update first their google map philippines. and there are lot s of place that they have not included in my country. and also so many of the streets were not listed or included on the map. | |

| 10. practicality (19) | 4 months ago |  Oh I depend on the net for a lot of information. Especially when it comes to work, when we need to write articles and stuffs, the library is not enough as there is a certain limit to the information it supplies. The net can be a very useful source of information if you know where to look. Information on the net is also up to date and reliable if you look at sites which feature scientific articles, or your local newspaper site. If you don't want to buy the newspapers, and save some money, can use the site to update yourself.
I agree that medical issues wise, it is safer to go to a GP who knows what he is doing instead of relying on the internet since we want to be 100% sure/

|
|
| hotsummer (2756) | 4 months ago | yes the net is much better than the local library. specially here you can't just get books to read in library. you have to request them and wait in queue for them to give or hand you the books you can borrow. and so it is such a hassle for me so i only do research on the net. | |
