Trust me bro

I'm always unnerved by the blind faith that people place on friends and acquaintances. There are countless examples from mindlessly copying a friend's exercise routine to heeding someone's car maintenance advice. In yesteryear, this was the only recourse from trial and error, but today there's a tool known as the internet that does more than just stream flash videos and provide free porn. With internet research, you can make a more informed decision in almost any matter. Even if you have a friend who is an expert, it's unlikely the knowledge of 1 individual will surpass the combined knowledge found on the internet. Experts are also always influenced, to some degree, by personal bias.

Granted, the internet is imperfect as the good information can buried under the avalanche of bad information. It seems that the internet is underutilized, but then again, my vantage point may be skewed by the number of simpletons that I encounter on a daily basis.
