Internet Detective

2. The Google gulp web site is does not contain true information. You are able to tell that the website is a hoax because the information given is not clear and doesn’t give you a lot of information about the products and there is no author or contact information.
The Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanies website does contain clear information that is related to the product they are endorsing and also contains author information and their contact information.

3. Out of the three websites given to do the Minnesota report I found the second one to be the most useful. Not only does it contain quality information that can be backed up in an encyclopedia but it also contains the author’s information.

The River of Doubt

In 1913 after losing the presidential election, Teddy Roosevelt accepted the offer to map the River of Doubt given to him by a foreign minister. On this trip he hoped to be the first to map the dangerous river and live to tell the story. Throughout his journey he faced many small and life threatening challenges. Some of the challenges he faced were diseases such as malaria, starvation, venomous animals and the quick flowing rapids that they traveled on in poorly built canoes. Many lives were lost on the trip due to the food and the foreign diseased. Roosevelt mapped 1,000 miles of the river and lived through the starvation and Indian attacks and became know as the man who mapped the river of doubt.
