Ruining lives with Mis-Information
During my school years, high school, college and some graduate school, I was always taught, that when writing a paper, or anything for that matter, your information should be correct, and that all sources should be checked. This has come up a few times in the past years, in some of our most revered newspapers and magazines. The problem, though, has become that this is not the same for the internet.
As noted on my website, I have been working for an airline, for a long period of time. It has been a big surprise to me about some of the nonfactual and other items that are not correct on some travel oriented websites. Even thought I have even sent e-mails to the webmasters of some very well known sites, they still do not change the information if it is wrong or different.
All of us in the \"web making\" community, must start to hold these people accountable for the wrong information they post. In the case of the website I am talking about, I believe that the airline I work for has lost money over the wrong information that has been made. This intern helps us lose passengers, profit for the company I work for, and in the end, raises for the people I work with, of which, affects our families.
I can promise on thing, if you see any information on our website that is incorrect, we will change it, but I do doubt this will happen, as we check our sources, again and again.
