The first thing I learned was that search engines can sometimes be wrong. For example, what google thinks is important to me maybe is not. I believe our generation has forgotten that search engines are simply man-made and we have to manually pick and choose what is credible, rather than assuming ranks are the way to go.

Second, I learned that being biased is not necessarily a bad thing. If a credible author decides to pick a side, he or she must have a good legitimate reason that can be connected to the original source. Additionally, the reasons should be backed up with credible sources.

Lastly, I learned that personal sites with biased opinions can be valid only if the author or writer states that their information is actually biased. If not, the author should be questioned regarding his or her information. It is highly important that websites, especially blogs, have disclaimers so that readers know whether they can rely on the website or not.

Overall, my whole perception of credibility has changed. Researching is now much more difficult for me due to the intricacies learned from the article. In today’s society, it is so easy to be deceived with all the minimalistic, professional websites that “look” credible, but simply a fraud.
