Misinformation - While it’s wonderful we no longer need to keep heavy volumes of the encyclopedia on our bookshelves anymore, it was nice having a source of information that could be trusted. There is so much misinformation on the Web that it’s sometimes easier to not even try to sift through the bad to find the good. Wikipedia can be a wonderful resource, but there is also a lot of unreliable and inaccurate information on the Web that gets replicated. News sources can be found online to back up any ridiculous argument or to refute a fact someone else makes. Be careful out there in Internet land and verify all information to the extent possible.

    I’d be surprised if you couldn’t still buy *actual* encyclopaedias in some digital form.
