Evaluating Web Pages

       Anyone can make a web page and post it on the Internet. I can, you can, we ALL can. However just because it is on the Internet does NOT mean it is accurate, true, and correct. There is a lot of INACCURATE, FALSE, WRONG, INCORRECT  and UNTRUE information on the Internet. Let's evaluate some web pages and see what makes a web page current, objective, unbiased, appropriate, relevant, and most of all useful.
