How many sheep ?

Interesting article in the news today about whether we can trust the information we access on the internet.


Made me wonder with my thoughts this week on image being to the fore again  how we can trust the information that is the on the internet about anything or anybody  and how do we decide in our daily lives  whether what we research can be trusted or not. We all access the internet for information, increasingly relying on that information to be correct. But when we have found that information, how do we decide its relevance and trustiness.

With searches for celebrities, are we measuring popularity, or just attention?
Does this have any impact on our attempt to develop our on line profiles and our image as a marketable product? Can we really trust what we see in someone’s on line profile? We have the capacity to become who we want to be and hide behind our real self. What do others think? Would potential employers be able to decide whether to trust what we put about ourselves? Is it as in Darwin’s theory always to be “the survival of the fittest”? Hmmmm?
