Thank you for the response, Rights to animals.Wikipedia is helpful and it allows people to have a world of
information at ones fingertips. Although the information is not
considered credible it is still effective in accomplishing the task
that it was meant to do. Wikipedia has become the world’s most dominate
education resource, with over four million articles in English this website is
accessible to anyone willing to read the information. Although I still believe that
the old technology is best because everything is electronic there are several
other ways to which we can reuse old technology like online books, newspapers,
journals and academic articles. It is not as direct as Wikipedia but the
information is credible and also useful. I find Wikipedia to easy to find
information and that is not always correct causing a flow of misinformation and
misunderstanding especially because anyone and there dog is allowed to write or
edit on this website. Whereas Old technology items have been proofread and
checked several times so this information is researched and correct.
Wikipedia I believe is useful to me as a university student because it provides me with a quick understanding of the topic I am attempting to write about. It provides me with a general understanding and direction when completing and assignment. I feel as if it points students in the right direction in the search for relevant information.
I also agree with you Rightstoanimals about your comment that Wikipedia is more of a general blog or forum because certain information and be considered bias depending on the topic concerning the author of the article for example; I’m a Toronto Maple Leaf fan is I were to write an article concerning the team about an opposing team my tendencies would be biased towards Toronto and I would neglect certain aspects of information about the other team. This is directly related to Wikipedia because everyone is allowed to post and speak their mind about what they choose to write about.
So in closing I believe that Wikipedia is still effective when researching general information but should never ever be considered as credible source of information because of the ability and accessibility to post information on the website , and if the information is able to post on this website it should be corrected based on the amount of views that the website receives on a daily basis and the information is consumed but a large audience.
