6. the internet is just one medium among many |

This headline ticks me off. I agree that people should use personal contacts and a variety of non-Internet sources in their job search. Maybe if a person used the Internet as the SOLE source for their job search, their chances of finding a job would go down. And obviously people need to distinguish between "quantity" and "quality" of information.
But saying that the use of the Internet "harms" job seekers is like saying reading the want ads "harms" them. And the latter point would never be made. The former point *does* get made because people still see the Internet as a panacea or as "the devil."
Pet peeve alert! :mad:
