Today there was an article on how much fiction is out the Internet and it reminded of my health care class the other day. In it we discussed the cons of having so much information readily available to people on the Internet leading to many self-diagnosing and often incorrectly.
I feel as though this is a risk we take the more we learn and advance as a society. After all there is something to be said for human connection and the reliability of such a connection.
We don't know half the time who is posting things online and furthermore we don't really know if the source is credible. It is so easy to deceive now and it's really scary to think that people are basing important decisions about things such as their health on some random person's ramblings.
