Talkin' About a Revolution
This article addresses the issue of the quality of Google's search engine in terms of the reliability of search results available to users. The author calls into question the authenticity of sources and information supplied for 'commercial' usage. The author states, "We should never forget that Google's relation to search is the same as ITV's relation to television programmes; the shows, however good or bad they are, are a way to provide an audience for advertisers or sponsors. While many of the people working in commercial TV care deeply about the programmes they make, at a senior level the only concern is how many people of what type are watching, because that determines the rate charged for ads." From both a positive and critical standpoint, the array of information available on the internet specifically google's search engine is unbelievably vast. While at the same token, due to the large quantities of information readily available, one must not forget the google is a business with an end goal and must view all information with critical eye.
