I’m not a science or technology expert, but I wanted to share the resources I use to make sure I’m always on the lookout for new things or ideas.
The internet is great. Its a huge resource of information on almost everything. But there’s often a lot of misinformation on it about what is actually true. If you have an idea, read up on it. If you want to be a smart ass, read up on something else. If you don’t know what something means, read up on something else.
For instance, I dont use my computer for serious writing, but I use it often to look things up, or to research a topic I might be interested in. I use the internet to learn the ins and outs of a topic, or to find the answer to a particular question.
The internet is a vast encyclopedia, but it’s really only about a third of the way through, and there are still many areas that haven’t been covered. So if you want to learn more about something you’re doing, go ahead and read up on it. If you want to be a smart ass, go ahead and read up on something else. But don’t waste your time.
Google makes it easy to read up on as many things as possible. The internet is a great place to look up anything you might not have found on your own. But it’s not a great place to look up scientific and technological information. I mean, there are a lot of ways to get to Google, and a lot of ways to get to Wikipedia. A lot of the things that you need to know about are scattered among these two sources.
That’s a fact. In addition to the fact that Wikipedia and Google are two very different organizations with different audiences, Wikipedia and Google have different levels of self-awareness. Wikipedia is a great resource for the general public while Google is great for business people. When you use Google to search for an answer to a question, Google will give you a lot of information about how to answer it so that you can make a decision. That’s not what a smart ass does.
Google is great for business people because it keeps the business people who work there accountable and helps them understand how they can improve their performance. In contrast, Wikipedia is great for readers and bloggers who want to learn about the world around them so that they can write about it. This is why having both is essential for success.
