limitations of electronic data (hsc paper) (1 Viewer)

[**blu_rose**]

hey im just kinda stuck on how to answer this question:
outline the limitations of ONE electronic source of data for secondary research.
i know that elecrtonic source would be sonething like cd rom iternet etc. but unsure of what the limitatios would be

limitations:

• time and cost accessing technology - i dont think time is such an issue, more cost because you have to be connected to the net
• validating information source - ie its difficult to validate information on the net, and anyone could just post up anything
• requires skill to access technology - eg an old granny might not be able to access the internet/cd roms cos they dont know how to use computers

anyway the limitations are in bold, and they are from the excel textbook

hope that helps
