Nowadays, the Internet becomes one of the main sources of information. People do not need to read books or buy some special manual if they want to get the information about some object or notion. The Internet supplies people with the data, which very often cannot be found in some other sources. However, there are also some risks connected with this way of obtaining knowledge. Very often, the data, which can be found in the Internet, is not authentic. Sometimes, it happens just because of the lack of knowledge. In such cases a person can be misinformed and have some problems connected with the wrong data.
However, there are also cases when the information is changed on purpose. These cases are more dangerous and they affect the credibility of the Internet. These data corruptions are made for different reasons. First of all, people, who are responsible for these fakes, want to promote their services or belie their rivals. The Internet is a very powerful remedy for the information transfer, that is why, it is possible to predict that number of such fakes will grow.
There is also the practice of posting fake reviews, which is also dangerous. People try to trust different opinions which they find in the internet as they think that people, who write reviews, just want to share their experience. Reviews of different kinds are, probably, the most important factor which influences a persons attitude towards different objects. That is why, fakes can destroy the image of this instrument and the Internet in the whole. Resting on these facts, something should be done in order to change existing situation and protect people from wrong data as it promotes development of mistrust to modern technologies.
“We have just returned from a long weekend at the Relais Blu. We made the hotel our base to exploring Naples and the surrounding Amalfi coast. Because of its somewhat remote location I would recommend a rental car – from Naples International airport it is a 45 minute car ride. The hotel is small with only 9 rooms, which makes it a very personal place. The staff, specially Constanzo, was very attentive and sweet. The food was great – Christoph, the chef – prepares great servings. The views from the property are great from every room – I recommend a drink on on the terrace in the late afternoon – it offers a great view of the island of Capri. The hotel is so lovely that it was hard to drag ourselves away from it at all. We’ll definitely be going back there!” (Relais Blu Belvedere, n.d., para.1).
“We had reserved 2 luxury rooms with double beds for 2 families. We were traveling with 4 children under the age of 7. We checked in late and were told they had no more rooms available. The only thing available was a BEAUTIFUL Penthouse which we could have for the same price. They probably could have apologized and refunded the money leaving us to struggle looking for another hotel but they didn’t. Very happy with hotel. Definitely an experience we will never forget” (Riviera Hotel and Casino, 2015, para. 1)
“A really nice hotel, beautiful location. In the hills but free shuttle bus takes you to Sorrento very easily. Sorrento is a great town and is a good base to visit the Amalfi coast (5 Euro’s for a day travel pass on the local bus service which stops just outside the hotel), Capri (about 20-25 Euro’s on the ferry from the local port), and Pompeii is only a short train ride away.Room and bathroom were spotless and towels and bedding were replaced every day. The pool was also well maintained.A lovely place to stay and we would recommend it!” (La Vue D’or Hotel, n.d., para. 3).
