Dear Lucky Winner!!!

Many opinions exist about authentic internet but my idea is internet is a facility for getting more information. Internet was invented few years ago for some peace full reasons but today in somewhere around the word it is used unfaithfully. People truest the internet. They think internet's documents are true but internet like other Medias can publish fake concept. I don't know why people trust to it so much.

Every day we check our email, account details, academic status and est. Some time we get spam in email that says funny things like "you have won 1,000,000 USD and send us your account details…" Perhaps you have seen some things like that. As long as we receive such this email, it means people still believe everything, even stupid one, from internet is true

In spite of useful usage of internet, we have to be careful and take good care of our important information and don’t forget "If you publish something in the internet, you show it to the world."

Micheal Jackson!

Just watch this video that says Michael Jackson is alive. When it comes to freedom of expression every each of people would becomes a reporter. See how the person who uploaded this video will challenge your mind with the reality. Such uncountable videos through the net make you to spend your time, searching for the TRUTH on the internet. But you can’t trust. Because you would think that maybe others are false also. This is what we are facing about the internet these days, unreliable information.

fakement on the internet,

In my opinion, what we can perceive from this comic strip states the fact that these days, we can’t trust the most powerful global source of information, the internet. Most of the information is counterfeit. Fraudulence, lies, plagiarism and etc. are some examples of these crimes. I think the reason of that could be the freedom of expression; surfing and reach the internet by everyone even those who don’t have enough literacy of that. So, we have nowhere and no one to receive true information from.

Topic 1: Rumors On Internet

Please look at the comic strip "Rumors, lies and innuendo spread far, wide and fast on the Internet." found in your textbook: Chapter 10, page 280 of Introduction to Mass Communication: Media Literacy and Culture. What is your opinion on this? Please give personal and relevant examples to illustrate your points.
