Wikipedia

I think that Wikipedia is a good way to find decent iformation very quickly. As we have seen, almost every class presentation has used Wikipedia to present information to the class. I use Wikipedia when i need infor in a hurry. First off it is free and has an easily searchable engine. Second most of the information is cited from second sources which helps give it some credibility. If I wanted to cite from Wikipedia in a paper or essay I would make sure that I double checked their references. Information is also at a constant change which is also an advantage of using Wikipedia. You can find recent events instead of looking at an encyclopedia that is 10 years old. I know that some colleges have outlawed using Wikipedia at their institutions because they see the info has not credible, but i think they should take a closer look of how Wikipedia has helped millions of people world wide.
