This article was previoulsy published on Dr. James Goydos' Medium. Technological innovation is a wonderful thing. With the advent of the Internet and the proliferation of search capabilities, we now have more information than ever thought possible at our fingertips. The benefit of this availability of information, however, it not without its costs. Like many things, it can be seen as a double-edged sword. It is how we choose to use it that makes the difference. In a time where tens of billions of search queries are made in a year, it is important we take note of how these technologies are being utilized.

From data which falsely advocates drinking bleach to kill the coronavirus to those which falsely suggest the means by which the coronavirus can spread, the misinformation can have dire consequences.
