W: What are you doing, Billy?
B : I’m doing research. I found a lot of great websites.
W: You know, I think you might want to go to the
library and look at some books.
B : I don’t want to. It takes too much time, and
besides, this is fast, easy, and fun. This paper will
be done in no time.
W: The Internet is great for finding information.
But it is also full of misinformation and lies. You
don’t really know what you are looking at unless
you are at a reliable site. It’s safer to get some
books first and then search for more information.
B : Grandma, I love you, but I think you are a little
old-fashioned. Look at all this great information!
My report is on Albert Einstein. Now, according
to this site, he was born in 1979, came up with
the theory of relatives, and was awarded the
Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.
W: Your information is wrong. Albert Einstein was
born in 1879 and developed the theory of general
relativity. He won the Nobel Prize in 1921.
B : Wow! That means all this stuff is inaccurate.
How did you know all that?
W: Come with me to the library and I’ll help you
find the books with those facts.
B : Thank you, Grandma. You’re a real life-saver!
