The Internet: Sum of Human Knowledge, or Collection of Scams? by Christine Maddox

• Thanks to Christine Maddox, we have a look at the dual nature of the Internet and what it can mean to learners of all ages. This would be a good piece to have students read and discuss in classes from middle school to colleges. Christine is a great example of how a graduate student can hustle and build her brand while working on a college degree.
• The Internet can seem like a wondrous place full of knowledge regarding virtually any subject you can possibly think of, and perhaps a few things you can’t. Although this vast sum of knowledge can be greatly beneficial to anyone willing to learn, it comes at a price. This collection of humanity also includes every scam and piece of misinformation imaginably conceived. At times, it’s difficult to find the truth among the various “facts” that often contradict one another.
