How much do you rely on Internet information?

According to the Washington Post (June 6, 2010, B3)), a woman is suing Google because she felt that the directions she received from Google Maps led her on a dangerous path. The route Google proposed was along a busy street without sidewalks. The woman was struck by a car and she wants Google to compensate her for this accident. This is a lawsuit that I will bring up in my classes to illustrate liability and torts. Maybe I’m old fashioned but I would have switched to “Plan B” if I felt the Google-proposed route was unsafe.
