Lot of information is available on the net. DO u think all this information is reliable ? I invite u all to this discussion
Not all the time, but you would be able to reach reliable sites. If you take into accout pros and cons, in balance. I find it very useful and in fact nowadays - if you dont live - in dumped areas or no man’s land. You have to have internet connection all the time in your day to day activities.

Internet is surely a popular source of information flow; however, it is not a good place for exchanging personal thoughts since the virtual space is prone to information leak and lacks security.Therefore, we have to watch out for the invasion of privacy.
It is one important and convenient easy access resource of information but not always reliable!
There are scientific and educational sites in the Internet that the information provided is reliable, but there are other sites which are not reliable.
Best wishes,

There are a lot of good information and a lot of false, unverified, bad intentioned information on the internet. Also, in the era of cybercrime, there are a lot of traps on the internet. However, there are foolproof and necessary methods for checking and ensuring you are getting good information. Avoid quackery which is thriving on the internet, suddenly everyone is an expert on everything including health and suddenly most people are prophets and pastors; I think one should ensure one is hearing about health from core professionals in the field; same should apply to other fields. The internet makes it easy to click up information much easier than the way you walk up to a person on the street but how many of us would willingly walk up to an armed robber to discuss safe keeping of valuables. The gatekeeping regime on the internet is very weak but there are also ways to check which sites are secure for sharing information and which sites are reputable .
However, judging the reliability of sources found on the Internet is crucial because there is no regulating body that monitors the reliability of what is on the Internet. Although there is so much information on the Internet that it can seem like a university library, it is actually more like a huge open-air market
Most times it is reliable especially if it comes from an authentic source. Of course there are people who post wrong information and organizations that cloak themselves as do-gooders and spread false or biased information (example Russian hacking into the 2016 US elections).
Lot of information is available on the net. DO u think all this information is reliable ? My answer is no. Close scrutiny of information is required irrespective of its origin.
Interesting question and nice replies.
As with every source of information, even print (books, journals), it is important to check and justify every piece of data we come across. The internet (websites) is no exception.
There is a lot of wrong information on the internet. Anyone can post anything, and much of it is garbage.
There are predators that hang out on the internet waiting to get unsuspecting people in dangerous situations.
Some people are getting addicted to the internet and thus causing problems with their interactions of friends and loved ones.
Easy to waste a lot of time on the internet. You can start surfing, and then realize far more time has passed than you realized. Internet and television together of added to the more sedentary lifestyles of people which further exacerbates the obesity problem.
Internet has a lot of “cheater” sites. People can buy essays and pass them off as their own far more easily than they used to be able to do.
There are a lot of unscrupulous businesses that have sprung up on the internet to take advantage of people.
Hackers can create viruses that can get into your personal computer and ruin valuable data.
Hackers can use the internet for identity theft.
It can be quite depressing to be on the internet and realize just how uneducated so many people have become in today’s society.
It depends on the information you seek for. Generally internet is the best medium to obtain information
Unfortunately, the Internet - especially the social networking sites - has become full of misinformation which makes it an unreliable source unless it is transmitted directly from trusted sites or from its real source in the books or asked by the people of science and competence and knowledge about its validity and based on it or not .
When we are in a problem we immidiately start taking help og Google Baba, we are so habitual and dependent on internet we don't have time and also nobody bothers about the information got through internet is reliable or not, we just keep faith march our journey. Yes every information may or may not be reliable but this is the only easy way available.
Interesting question and replies. I agree with Emre Pakdemirli and Fateh Boutekouk.
If the question mean the data basis, the internet is a good an reliable source of information. Concerning social media, it is not but 20% not more
Despite the scientific development of human beings and despite the amount of new and renewable knowledge and discoveries that scientists reach every day; but the idea of obtaining reliable information 100% is still out of reach either online or by any other means. Since access to information is a feature of the modern era, it is necessary to think about the credibility of the information presented by the Internet, and how to verify the authenticity of information on the Internet,
If you stick to your subject and line of inquiry, it should be reliable. If you drift looking for adventure, you may be caught like the fish in a net or get cheated.
The internet has the Good, the Bad and the Ugly:
For me, from Scientific point of view, Good is the evidence-based research and facts,
Bad is the excess (junk-like) data that may avert researchers from the truth.
The Ugly is the fabricated or falsified information that may harm.
Therefore, seeking creditable resources is your Best companion, as well as keeping open-mind and clear vision of your research, so you can choose wisely!
مصدر جيد وسريع لكن يجب التحقق من المعلومات التي تنشر من مصادر موثوقة
The reliability of the data or the information depend upon the source from where it was taken. If the information is taken from any authenticated website or source that it will be trustable. Now a days social media is a major source of wrong information of misguidance. So, as a investigator you should have to authenticate the data first and then quote or use it any where. So we should have to filter the data according to our need and providing source.
the net is good and quick source for information but not all of them is reliable
Not all the infrmations from the web are reliable , we must search for it
Is internet a reliable source of information?
Not all are reliable - you need to give them the benefit of doubt and try to search from different angles to triangulate your findings or until the state of saturation.
Internet is a biggest storeroom of information if you don't have proper key you will not get anything but everything is available in this store or a small window
The internet isn’t the “most” reliable source of information..

if it is used in part, as a narrative, it is little more than the retelling of a story however it is in terms of it's abilities extraordinarily smart.

It depends from where you are citing. Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a website you are citing is credible.MLA 8th edition provides a very good guideline that can help you to solve the matter.
