I think that the Internet is not good way to get information.
Some people say that the Internet is a good way to get useful information, but I think that the Internet is not a good way to acquire information for the following a reason.
The reason is that the Internet has not only a great of good information but also much wrong information because of the feature of the Internet: easy accessibility. Today the Internet is easy to access and anyone who get on the Internet can say and share his or her knowledge and information in the Internet though he or she is not expert or intellectual. It may seem that sharing and saying information is always good, on the other hand, it may also give people who are going to search information which they need in the Internet unverified wrong information. So, they have to verify whether the information which they find is correct or not. If they can’t judge of it, they will believe that the wrong information is right. But The bigger problem is that this wrong information can spread out by people who believe that the wrong information is correct. In this respect, the Internet is rather a bad source to find good information.

It may seem that sharing and saying information is always good. On the contrary on the other hand, it may also give people who are going to search information which they need in research on the internet unverified or wrong information (Unverified means that there is no other source backing up the claim or there is insufficient evidence. It may or may not prove to be wrong). So they have to verify whether the information that which they find is correct or not. If they can’t judge it accurately of it, they will believe that the wrong information is right. But the bigger problem is that this wrong information can be spread out by people who believe that the wrong the false information is correct.

The Internet Is Not a Good Way to Find Information
Many people believe that the Internet is a good way to get useful information, but I think that it is not a good way to acquire information for the following main reason: the public’s ability to contribute content. This feature of the Internet causes it to have not only a tremendous level of good information, but also a fair amount of wrong information. With today's easy access, virtually any person can post their comments, opinions, and knowledge even though they are not educated, an expert, nor an intellectual.
It may seem that the widespread sharing of information will always be beneficial, yet, the downside to that ability may also lead to people easily receiving faulty information. Thus, time permitting, they will need to verify whether the information that they find there is correct or not. If they do not have such time, or they are unable to verify it independently through their own knowledge, people often believe that incorrect information is right simply because it exists on the Internet.
However, while that is happening less and less these days, the bigger issue is those people who unwittingly believe that the wrong information is correct, and who all too often, then spread this wrong information further. In this respect, and for this reason, while not discounting it's other advantages, this is why I feel that the Internet is frequently a good source to find bad information.
Hi, Geumhui. Good job! Whatever minor changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your ideas, for ease of reading, and to provide a slightly better ending. My apologies if I misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you. J.
P.S. In answer to your question, I believe that in U.S. publications (which I would be more familiar with…), the capitalized form (Internet) continues to be more common that the non-capitalized form (internet). It is also the form I encounter more of here on italki. In contrast, and perhaps reflecting the British influence, the reverse is used and gaining wider usage elsewhere. An old rule in writing is to “know your audience,” so with that in mind, you should know the limitations of those who volunteer to edit your posts here as well.

Using multiple sources is the way to go. And there are websites that tell you whether a source has been peer reviewed or sources that catalog bias of different news sources.
There is also the issue of mainstream media publishing articles about science, economics, politics etc. and omitting information to sensationalize it for the public. Often times if you go and read the legal document or read the original journal paper, they do not say what the news did. All it takes is one outspoken person with charisma to rally a group against a fact that was never even true in the first place. The issue is that these bills and journal papers are written for a very specialized audience so they are not accessible to the public even if they can find them online.
Another thing to consider is that online sources rapidly update whenever new information is uncovered. A book might take years to publish a new edition.
