Whenever someone is googling a topic for their essay/papers, you will usually find a Wikipedia site listed somewhere on the first page. This is because people turn to Wiki as the first source of information for a general background on their topic, well at least I do at times.
I feel that Wiki is a good source of communication, and at certain times reliable. However, this highly depends on the information that you are searching for. I feel that it’s a good general source of information where a person can read about and determine by themselves whether or not it is reliable, since random people can edit the information. This really tests out a person’s skills/ability to extract information. Also it causes them to do more research, which hopefully educates them more =) Even professors and teachers tell students to start their research through google and Wikipedia for general information and then use links to find more accurate information!
Born and raised in Vietnam, my grandparents did not have the same means of communication as we do today. Back then, Vietnam was still just starting off and did not have much technology. There were no computers, no internet access and telephones were just starting off. Their main way of communicating was traveling on foot or bicycle and talking to the person or writing them mail and getting them delivered. This was simple, but an easy way of communicating with everyone because they all lived so close together.
Unlike my grandparents and parents, I grew up here in Canada where I have internet access at the tip of my fingers. I am able to search up information about places all over the world or just local restaurants that I want to try. With the creation of web 3.0 coming up, searching for a restaurants for me and my friends to eat will become a whole lot easier. Instead of getting random useless information, I could actually get decent results! =)
Not only is the internet great for me, my grandpa even uses it to check NBA stats! =)
