Personal computers made accessing information a lot faster and easier but a lot of times the things we see when we search information is tailored to our personal beliefs and opinions. For example, if you're a person that commonly searches for information or products about dogs, you're way less likely to get an add promoting cat food. While this may seem like a very positive thing, it also may have a downside. This rule also applies to things like political views, if you're a trump supporter you'll most likely end up seeing things that are pro-Trump and a lot fewer things that are pro-Hilary.

This can skew people's outlooks on certain subjects, if you're only ever seeing web pages and articles saying that Trump is great, you won't ever see the opposing side which is essential in making a well-informed decision about a candidate for the presidency or any other subject for that matter.

In summary, You have to see both the good and bad side of something to truly make a choice and the way the internet works can sometimes make that difficult.

I hope this helps and makes sense! :)

The fax modem is used to send and receive fax messages by only having phone line (fax machine is not required). The scanned documents should be saved as digital file (image or PDF format) in order to be sent. So, in order to send a portion of a map you should first convert the map into digital file and than simply send it through the fax modem. The best way to convert it to a digital file is to use an optical character recognition (OCR).
