Wikipedia

Wikipedia has quickly become one of the ten most popular sites to visit on the internet, having millions of people surfing it each day. So now that the public in theory can read about any chosen article they wish is this much better then a library? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia

The internet has given them a source in which they can search whatever they want whenever they want. Of course controversy has struck this angelic webiste quickly. With the ability for any person to edit a page people feel pages can be biased, but truly what is an unbiased opinion primarily? Wikipedia's source of information is even being used in court cases, this is of course an official stamp seen as governements now use it. One similar problem is the effect it has had upon students, teachers can now find that students in some cases will simply copy and paste entire pages of wikipedia for an essay...the bastards. So now that people have this unlimited source of information where will it end? Will it continue to grow until it chronicles the entire universe enacapsulating us in our own pages making each person a part of the wikipedian movement? Highly likely soon we will be simple pods for this soon to be tyrannical website capable of crushin us with a simple blow.
