How To Split An Atom: How To Learn About Wikipedia

  • Sam · 2 years ago
    I have to admit that I'm one of those people who runs to Wiki every time I discover something I don't know much about. We live in an age where we need info fast, and Wiki delivers. It isn't completely reliable though, and I have even had a professor receive credit for a work we didn't create on that website. This is just another step in the digitization of our world!

    That's absolutely true. Between collaborative efforts like this, and social networking rising in popularity our lives are definitely becoming digital.

    Carr couldn't have said it any better. However, relying too much on wikipedia is also quite scary since most of the facts are not fully verified. It is still better to cross-check it with other sources.
