Students from ENA are the most Digital Natives because 95.7% of them love or accept technology, against only 92.3% for Longueuil. It is also important to mention that ENA students mostly use computer to do homework, send emails, search informations and watch videos, when Longueuil students are only using it to text chat, upload pictures, use Facebok and create Blogs. Longueuil students are using computer mostly for entertainment, when ENA are using them for half work and half entertainment.
ENA students get most of their news from technological ways such as radio, Internet and TV. On the opposite hand, Longueuil student don’t use digital ways to be informed, they mostly ask to friends or family.
Finally, ENA students, when they listen to a new report, are way more susceptible to question themselves on the information they just received then Longueuil’s students, who will assume that the information is true more easily.
To conclude, both sides are using a lot of digital technologies, but based on the statistics we have, we can say the ENA’s students are the real Digital Natives.

We chose to make our debate base on difference statistic comparing St-Hubert's ENA to Longueil CEM on their use of computers. To begin, the CEM students are more accurate with technologie than their collegue. Contrairly to them we not only watch and upload, but 30.8 % of uscreate websites and Blogs as well. We use computer for work more than they do. Even though, most of us are using it for both work and entertainment. We are posting, uploading and creating much more than they do. We are also using text chat more than they do. But if we are watching for all the statistics we are kind of the same. In this case we can conclude that between ENA and CEM students we are both Digital Natives.

CLONES-R-US
The web site clearly indicates the author which is Dream Technologies International. The site does not show enough information to say that they are qualified. There also are no links to information about the author or sponsor. It is not a reputable source because it has been awarded by on-line comunities like; “Cool Bananas”, “ The Too Cool Award” , and “Hot SpoT”. Indeed, it links us to a website in Philipinnes.
The summary of the site is writen in an informal way. The content is appropriate for our research. Everything is organized and we could find the information easily, although it is not updated. The last update is from 2001 and all the links work. This website is made in USA, and the information is very appropriate. In the website there is not enough information to inform users about cloning. It is mostly designed to sell their services. In our personal opinion we believe that this website is filled with false information because we all know that it is impossible to clone human beings.

Create R-Us Web site
The site that we have chosen shows clearly the author and the sponser. There is even a link about them, but it does not say lot about them beside their names. In the text there are some miss spellings . The subjet is about cloning celebrity people on animals such as dogs, cats or even snakes. The structure of this site seems appropriate even though the colors would be better adapted for color blind people. The Informations along with the colors lack credibility in such a way that no one in their right mind could possibly believe that this site is not a joke.This site was last updated on 00/03/07. We don’t know where the owner or creator comes from so we are deeply misinformed. This site is trying to sell clones of celebrities or even pets. There is no publicity but it’s clearly a hoax because it's impossible to clone people without having health problems! Anyway, cloning people like Micheal Jackson is far from being credible. They even tell us that if we want to clone our snake we just have to buy another one!

Clones R US
Dream technologies International posted this website in March 1997. They did not mentionned their names and the names of the article’s authors. It is not a trustworthy website because its content is ridiculous. It doesn’t seem to have grammatical or spelling errors on this website. This website is about a cloning industry from which you can order any kind of clone. The authors didn’t mentionned where they come from. They created this website to stimulate thoughts on the pros and cons about the cloning. This website is not at all informative. Their goal is only to sale their products. We didn’t notice any false information but we were septic from the very beginning. There are some little pictures on the side of pages but they didn’t include any ads.

Clones R Us
While surfing on the «Clones R Us»’s website, we have to be aware that false information can be transmitted by being critical. There is only a company’s name mentionned on the website, but no sponsor named. There is also a «contact us» section that tells readers a little bit about them, so it can look professionnal. However, when you pay attention while reading, you can realize that, in the «corporate raison d’etre» section, it is cleary written that the visited website is spoof, which means a hoax site, similar to a parody. Moreover, the authors admit that their site was edited to stimulate discussion about cloning. Their objective is possibly to change readers’ opinion. The fact that the website received awards from, for example, «Cool Bananas, site of the day», is another proof demonstrating how unreliable this reference is. There is no specific date mentionned at the bottom of the page, but we found that the last update was probably in 2000. Therefore, the content is out of date and the information may be inaccurate. In the «links page» section, although most of the links are current, a few of them cannot be found on the web. The website is divided by sections on the left side of the screen, making the information quite easy to reach. We do not notice right away false information or grammatical errors.
All in all, this source is not appropriate for a serious research. However, some articles may be useful to know others’ opinion on the subject.

The site of Clone ‘R Us is not a reliable website because of many factors. We can’t find who really published it. The last update was made in 2006, 2 years ago, as of the news, they were last updated in 2000. The link to the delevopers of the web site is false. The website was created to sell clones, an impossible thing. The website design doesn’t look professional at all. There’s a guestbook, which wouldn’t be there on a professionnel website. It is also full of stupidities, people writing comment about nothing.
Analyse of a website
During our course of English 102, we received the task to analyse a website to try to find out if it is reliable or not. To do so, we were given some questions to ask ourselves during the analyses. The website we decided to analyse is called “Truth about the Belgium” and has been created by a man named Lyle Zapato.
First of all, we began by seraching some information about thye author of the site, which has his name written in the top of the website. We didn’t manage to find anything really relevant about this author. We even found a site that was describing him like an “advanced level paranoid”. Could we really trust a website written by a paranoid?
The website gives information about the Belgium. The author himself affirms we have been told lies for a long time about the existence of the Beligum. The website has been uptaded for the last tiem on August 31st of the year 2008. This way, we can see the website is still kind of active, at least.
The main goal of the author by creating this website was to inform people. He wanted to share with the user his own idea of the Belgium, which he thinks have never existed at all. “Belgium is, and has always been, a leftist ruse; a device applied to propagate the Liberal agenda throughout the world.” Ths sentence shows clearly his opinion about the Belgium and is used as the introduction to what kind of information will be given on this website. We cannot be sure that information is false since we would have to do a research about the Belgium too. But after reading the profile of the author, I think we can be a little skeptical about the information given on this website.

Belgium doesn't exist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maxime Caron
David Bernier Perreault
On the “Belgium Doesn’t Exist!” Website, the author clearly specifies is name and we can email him, but he doesn’t say anything about himself or his qualifications. The only sources for this website are stupid useless blogs with no scientifical studies. We don’t see much grammatical errors, but he is far from being objective. The website is not well designed and it is only a text with false informations. It couldn’t be used in a research because nobody would believe it. Last update was the 2008/08/31. This means that the informations aren’t up to date which doesn’t make this source a potent one. Most of the links work, but lot of them has nothing to do with the subject. The author doesn’t tell us where he come from. He created this website to show the reality about the Belgium and change our opinions about it, but in fact, we think he was just doing a joke. Any normally composed human would realize as soon as he read the title that this information is false. This website creator only wanted to sell useless junks to credulous people. There are also blog ads.
Watchout for scams!
The website we’ve decided to analyse is the online DeHydrated Water store. This website has been designed to sell dehydrated water to satisfied customers all around the world. The fact is that dehydrated water is air. When you buy their products, you buy an empty bottle, a bottle full of air.
Actually, the website itself doesn’t look so bad at all, nothing professional but it is not the worst we’ve seen. It has all the usual links of an online store, but if you give a closer look on the page content, you’ll realize that it is all fake. If you read closely, it is a bunch of hidden jokes that some people might actually trust.
For example, look at the website, and click on the “cool jobs” link in the top navigation bar. The page opens up with a load of benefits you get when you work for http://www.buydehydratedwater.com but if you read them closely, you’ll see that it is all stupid things. Ketchup packets from McDonalds, Napkins from Del Taco, Straws from 7-Eleven, Usage of our customers' credit cards are some example of these ‘’benefits’’.
In conclusion, when you visit a website, do not only overlook the website but read carefully its content and use your brain to analyse the different things it is telling you.

Selecting appropriate websites - "Belgium Doesn't Exist!"
Lyle Zapato created this website. His name is clearly indicated at the top of the page. There is no link to help us know more about the author. Thus, it is not a reputable source at all. There are a few grammatical errors spread through the text (for example, “writting” instead of writing, or a few made-up words such as “supremicist”.
The website’s subject is the non-existence of Belgium. It is absolutely inappropriate to use for any kind of research due to its satirical nature. It’s designed well enough to lead a few people to believe the author.
The last update was made on August 31st, 2008 – over five months ago. It wasn’t updated recently enough to use in research. The links work, though. The area where the author comes from is unclear.
The website’s goal is to make the reader believe that Belgium doesn’t exist at all. It is designed to convince people about the non-existence of Belgium. The entirety of the website is made up of false (and humorous) information. It is nothing other than a hoax site. There aren’t any ads (except links to reach the author’s website).
