WHY CRITICALLY THINKING NEEDED  Evaluating a site means applying individual judgment.  Good information on bad sites, and bad information on good sites.  Information on the Web should be viewed as no more or less than information from other sources.  Authorship on the Web does not mean “authority.”  Evaluation of web sites is a means, not an end.

CONCLUSION Wrong information is more harmful than correct information. If we make a decision based on wrong or unreliable information, we do not have power--we have defeat. So evaluation of the Word Wide Web is a must for all students, researchers and surfers, who use internet regularly.
