PART 3: CURRENCY (IS THIS THE LATEST INFORMATION?)
| Why does information change? |
 Go to the Sydney Morning Herald article here, and write the article TITLE and the URL in your workbook. Answer these questions:
- Where was the information changed?
- What information was changed?
- Who changed the information?
- Why did they change the information?
- Why has Wikipedia "come under fire" recently?
|
 Why do dates on websites matter? |
- Go to the Internet Archives Wayback Machine, and enter the NSW Government Portal URL( http://www.nsw.gov.au ) into the search box.
- If you can't access the Internet Archives, use this pdf image.
- What TREND can you see in the recording of pages? How would you explain this?

| Here's something interesting! |
 Not long ago, Google bought YouTube for many billions of dollars. You can read Google's own press release here.
Go to All Who Is and find out who is the current registered 'owner' of YouTube. Write down their postal address. Do the same for Google. Do you think that some one might have forgotten to update their information?
