Study: 39% of Kids Believe Everything They Read Online

1 point for irony. But seriously, this is a FUD headline. The statement that 39% of kids surveyed agree with is: "The information I find online is always correct."

It's no stretch that this statement allows for children to silently consider it to be assessing their own assessment skills - easy to translate to "I know not everything online is true, but I know how to find the accurate stuff."

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the children who answered yes were thinking of the question in those terms.

Why should I believe this? Just because I read it online?
