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.
