Opis

Today we can find almost any information on a computer or the Internet. Without too much thought, we search, browse and use it in our daily lives, work and study. Yet the issues hanging on a button-press can range from needless time-wasting, through frustration at failed searches and missed information, to mistaken and even dangerous conclusions for users' knowledge, careers, finance, health, travel or relationships.
