we had to use the LIBRARY and the Encyclopedia Britttanica back then. Today Kids get all their answers and education off of the internet!

What's the difference other than one took longer to get info from?Originally Posted by wa6mhz
Actually, one difference is the intertube gets updated and/or revised a whole lot faster. Plus, as we all know, if it's on the internet, it must be true and accurate.

It's just as accurate as if it were in a library...
The ability to edit in real time, as on the internet, would make the internet information more up to date than that found in a book in a library. But, if the editor of that information did not have somebody else proofing the information, it might not be as accurate. Could go either way which is why it is important to use more than one source on the internet, in my opinion.
Do whatever it takes to avoid fooling yourself into believing that something is true when it is false, or that something is false when it is true.
