The Internet is an important tool, but you need to remember:

Anyone can develop a website on any topic they choose, regardless of their authority.
The Internet does not have:
- Standards for publishing
- A review process to check for accuracy
- Prompts for removing outdated information

The CRAAP test is a useful tool for evaluating websites. Seriously!
