Internet Search Engines

Internet search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, are easy and convenient ways to find nearly any information available on the internet. Unfortunately, many people overuse these resources to the point of complete dependence. As a result, they no longer think that it is necessary to have the same general knowledge as before. Whenever a question or problem occurs, people rely on internet search engines; therefore, they don't have to actually know anything, as long as they have access to these search engines. Although this seems to be ideal, much of the information that is found on the internet is not accurate.  Wikipedia, for example, is a website than many people use for answers to their questions, but it is also a website that anyone can access and edit the information.
