This week we were talking about Wikipedia and how it can be misleading to those who are looking for information.

If I am being totally honest, I have used Wikipedia for my papers in High School, and I would use the references on the bottom of the pages as my references.

I do think that Wikipedia is a great place for people to come together to gather and collect and read information in a place that is very accessible to a large group of people.

Is it good for us? I really don’t think I have an answer for that.

I think Wikipedia is a great tool, but, it is only as good as the people using it are. If the people who use it are using are using it as a secondary way to gather info and back up their points, it is fine, but, if the same people are using it as the only way they gather info, then it is something that is making us stupid.
