A WWW history
How did the web get so unruly?
The web is so unruly because it is technically open to everyone.
How to determine the quality of the content we find on the www some principles:
Make sure you understand what’s fully required in an assignment
Know what it is your looking for and why someone has created a website.
Is the type of content bias?
Suggested criteria for evaluating the web
Accuracy, Authority, Currency, Coverage, Authentication
Accuracy
Is there an editor? (Bad grammar) is it error free?
Authority
If there’s sponsorship then it’s most likely real. Is there an author?
Objectivity
Are its goals clearly stated? Is it designed to try and change your opinion on a subject?
Currency
How are current are the links? If getting failed links then the page is most probably old.
Coverage
Determine the extent of the content.
Authentication
What is the domain type? Validation of references is a good sign
