In this age of information technology, it's very important for information consumers to be able to determine which information is true or false, fact or opinion, valid or irrelevant.  Not all information is "good" information. 
     One simple tool to evaluate information is the "C.R.A.A.P. Test"; Currency, Reliability, Authority, Accuracy, & Purpose.
