Answer to Question 1

No browser can search more than a small fraction of what is online, so there is a chance that your search will miss something critical.
Many websites are sponsored by organizations hoping to make a profit or to sway public opinion on an issue. In either case, the information is sure to be biased.
Anyone can create and post a website, regardless of their credentials or trustworthiness, so you cant be sure the information on a website has been peer-reviewed or evaluated by experts
Many organizations post press releases (which always present one side of an issue) on their websites

Answer to Question 2

Text can be in the form of lists or quotes. Some tables also use text.
Data graphics are visuals designed to help audience members understand relationships between numbers. The two main types of data graphics are tables and charts.
Representational graphics can be categorized as either pictorial or symbolic representations of reality. Pictorial representations include 2D and 3D models, photographs and videos, and drawings. Symbolic representations include maps, flowcharts, organization charts, or computer visualization and plotting images.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
