No Need to be Naïve, Google's There

http://www.google.com/

Check out that site. Come on people. A trending topic on Twitter right now is "RIP Johnny Depp" and before anyone does ANY research on it they are sucked right into the TT and start saying things like "Johnny Depp is dead? Is this a joke?"

Stop by the link posted above, search "Johnny Depp." The first article that shows up is titled "Johnny Depp died in car crash? No, Depp's in France." Read the article and you will see how Craig's List founder talks about how this is what annoys him most on the internet. And me too. Maybe that means I should be a millionaire CEO, but that's another story.

Take a second, go to Google and find out some information for yourself. The internet is so full of useful stuff (and a whole lot more BS, but us intellectuals should be able to sort through that I hope, right?). I love Google. Whenever I have something that I need to know the answer for, e.g. what exactly constitutes "public intoxication," my good friend Google is right there to help me out. When I need to find the origin of the word "touché," Google is right there to never fail me.

This is the Information Age. Also the BS Age. I think that we can for together and be remembered for the former. Use the tools that are available to you before you jump to any conclusions. Please. And Thanks.
