Thing # 15

I think the wiki concept is a great idea. It's a cool way to share and edit information, but I also think it has certain drawbacks. The fact that ANYONE can edit information is what makes wiki's so unique, but that same aspect could have some negative consequences. For example, I use wikipedia quite often to look up whatever subject I may be interested in for personal use, but if I'm doing actual school work, then I would want to stray away wikipedia, simply because all of the info may not be exactly correct. As far as getting general information goes, wiki's are great and actually quite fun. I added to the "sandbox" wiki about lifelong learning habits. It was cool to read through other people's thoughts, and know that I'm not alone in a lot of my ideas and concerns.
