Given that you cant actu
2、ally touch, see, smell or hear the product youre buying online, these reviews will provide you with valuable information on the product itself. But how far can you trust them? Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience. “I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent reviews o
3、n a food website. However, the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time. Later, I wrote a review on the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept any bad reviewsonly the good ones.” So, how can you get a useful review? Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few to
4、p tips. “If there are only a few reviews of a place, there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies. If there are many reviews, start by dropping the most extreme comments. Also, watch out for similarities in style between reviews from people with different user names, particula
5、rly if those reviews were placed about the same time. The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.” Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem.

B If your child has mobile Internet access, it will be more difficult to monitor (监 督) and control his or her Internet use. Kids are turning to the Internet for every
10、thing from hanging out with friends to shopping, which makes it harder for parents to keep track of their online activities. Fortunately, there are many choices for controlling what your kids see on their computers, laptops, and mobile devices. Content blockers and filters are great tools to use for
11、 younger kids. They allow you more control over where they go and what they do online. A content blocker can block some unhealthy websites or limit a childs search to the kind of sites.
