While doing this project in class, I have noticed a lot of things about how different people do research. I saw that some people were using Wikipedia as one of their primary locations for information. Growing up, I have learned that you should never use wikipedia as a source for information, because the information may not always be correct. I think that this is very true because anyone can access and edit anything they want to on that site. Maybe someone had a really bad day, and they decided, "maybe I'll just go on Wikipedia and change all the information, so maybe the history of the world be altered." This is not the way to do research. If you really are desperate for information, go on google and get information from a place that only the makers can edit. I remember when I was little that I used a program called "Encarta" that was basically an encyclopedia in software. What happened to those days?
