In an instant, we can possess the knowledge of the ages. Just a click and you can know anything about any subject. And now you are telling us that we can CREATE the information on the World Wide Web?!?!?! Fabulous ... Let's do it!
Wikis are wonderful tools that have great potental. The fact that we can place any information that we need to get to the population at large. So why the picture of a graveyard? This makes me wonder if the ease of wikis will do away with some of the other forms of communication we have. Will we stop using the phone for conference calls? Will emails stop clogging up our inboxes?
I do see a really use for wikis in many places. And I do believe that the library and the library patrons could benefit from them. (Just as long as they can be set so that the patrons could not CHANGE the information provided on them.) We should all try the world of wikis and see if we can connect more easily.
