This Sherman and Price article discussed many of the misunderstandingsgs about the Internet/web and helped to explain some of them. One of the first myths was that the Internet and web are the same. This is not true the web is only part of the Internet. Another myth the article busted was the fact that all databases are current. This is also false, databases are not always current due to the fact of web pages being changed and updated and also the things on the web are changing so quickly the databases cannot keep up with everything. Another myth that was found false in the article was the myth that databases overlap. Databases overlapping was found to occur a lot less frequently that originally thought.
I found this article to be very insightful. Several of the myths discussed in the article were things that I thought were true. One of the main things I found surprising was that databases did not overlap in coverage. I have always thought that databases would overlap on the information found during searches, but apparently this is not true. This is good to know for research purposes. I used to always think that the Internet and the web were the same thing, but after reading this article it makes more sense as to what each one is.
