Researching Research

To start with I've never been a big fan of research. I understand its inherent values and the reason why its important in academia, but research, beyond its ability to stimulate my own interest and thought, has never been something I've enjoyed doing. However, it would seem that research, at least for this paper and possibly for others in my college career, is a required and potentially helpful element of writing. Luckily, I happen to be writing my paper on the growth of information through technology and the way that our lives are changing because of it. Ideally then, the best way to research topic that I've chosen would be through the same medium that I will be discussing. i.e. internet research with the possible edition of digitally available print content. Yes, there are inherent risks when  it comes to internet research such as the reliability of a source or the natural bias of a source, however, I've had a great deal of experience researching information online both out of curiosity as well as for project related information. Having experience with internet research has enabled me to notice key factors about websites that lead me to an understanding about whether the source should be trusted or not. I plan on only using internet based research as a means to exemplify the same point that I'll be making in my paper.
