We learn early in school to find credible sources when writing a paper. Many may remember encyclopedias or going to the library to read a book to take notes.  We have become a society of instant gratification with Google or asking Siri or Alexa for an answer.  

Each week, I research the published, peer-reviewed literature to find the most reliable evidence about health and medicine. Recently, I was told there is no need to read published newsletters or newspapers because they can just get their answers from Google.  When you search Google for Google search algorithms and misinformation, amazingly you will find some pretty sound criticism of the accuracy of the results.  Is this our most credible source of information?
