You can't trust the internet.
Don't believe anything you read on the net. Except this. Well, including this, I suppose.
The Internet is not nearly as fail-safe as the phone system.
I have the Internet, but the first that happens with it is my machine will crash. I get by when it's operating. What would I know about updating?
If it's on the Internet, then it's gotta be true.
US has to be able to rely on a safe and interconnected internet in order to compete with other countries.
Internet does not equal sodium pentothal.
It can be a little scary. Like one time I posted a link to NPR because I thought it was interesting, and it took down their Web site.
The Internet won't skip a beat, and neither will I. Technology is constantly changing and evolving.
People rely on Wikipedia, and a lot of it is wrong. But because there it is on the Internet, they assume it's right. Rumor gets printed as fact. We may have lost our critical facility as a nation.
If it's on the Internet, it's real!
In general, I think people should be skeptical of the Internet as a reference tool because so much of what's on it is unreliable and costumed - a hall of mirrors.
I think the large part of the function of the Internet is it is archival. It's unreliable to the extent that word on the street is unreliable. It's no more unreliable than that. You can find the truth on the street if you work at it. I don't think of the Internet or the virtual as being inherently inferior to the so-called real.
It's getting harder and harder to know, when you find things on the Internet, what you can believe and what you can't.
The United States need to be focusing more on creating a more secure, more reliable, more robust, and more trusted internet, not one that's weaker, not one that relies on this systemic model of exploiting every vulnerability, every threat out there.
