Madonna's dead! I saw it on the Internet!

Truth is the supreme reality and has the ultimate meaning and value of existence, Free Dictionary says. From this definition we easily see how full of power truth is. And one of the Internet's job is to reveal what before was hidden. The Internet turns on the light of truth on our world. What is best way to get information on an organisation we are about to join or about someone we are about to employ? What is best way to know what really happened last week with Gaddafi and the rebels?


But "the power of the Internet, Vince G. Cerf says, is like a two-edged sword. It can also deliver misinformation and uncorroborated opinion with equal ease. The thoughtful and the thoughtless co-exist side by side in the Internet's electronic universe."

So we have to get educated to tell the difference between truth and wrong information. We have to stay aware of the risk taken on the Internet in our quest of truth. Let's have a cross-media habit to get informed. This is the best way to detect the wrong that hides everywhere.
