Based on the videos shown to us, I have gained new knowledge on Wikipedia itself. We were taught to not trust this site as many students have constantly copied information from Wiki pages of certain information for research papers. We were also educated in the fact that since the information posted is changeable, this website should not be trusted. However, this is not fully true, or rather there is a way to still use the works of Wikipedia. First, I learned that information rather than being simply added and replaced, is rather constantly overlapping each other. The videos also taught me that there must be a balance in the information taught, meaning that there must be no sense of bias. Another way to utilize the works of Wikipedia, is rather than copying the information from Wikipedia, the resources stated under the Wikipedia should be utilized. Overall, I feel that rather than using Wikipedia itself, the resources should be exploited instead in regards to research and other forms of education or enjoyment.
