Google and Wikipedia


Google is one of the most used internet pages as the first thing that people do when they go is go on Google, which started in the 1997 which means it has been runing for 15 years which is a long time. There is also Wikipedia which started in 2001 and it tis the most known and used place for infomation. Wkipedia has 275 active languages and it has over 35 million pages of infomation. but the information on there is not always correct as it can be put on by anybody and there is a high chance that it might be wrong. This is a key fact ‘While it took the radio 38 years, the television 13 years it took the World Wide Web only 4 years to reach 50 million users.’

 
Posotives
 
  • Easy to use
  • They have a lot of detailed content
Negatives
  • Made by people and can easily be changed by the public so wikipedia is not always reliable.
  • Always has advertismentson the top of your research that do not help and will cost you if you go on the page.

In my opinion is that Google and Wikipedia are good and helpful as lots of people use them for help and infomation.
