Questions: Technology & Internet

Here is an example. The search results are to the left, the right part which says 'battle of marathon' is the wikipedia part. I personally feel that this legitimizes a source of information that is poor in quality.

Why?

Wikipedia may have been a good internet source a decade ago, but many alternatives have taken its place. Wikipedia was originally the source of information where people had easiest access to academic research papers, and an article based on those, but today many more academic research papers and articles are posted directly online for us to access them.

What about paid research papers, they are not accessible to most? Well, you wouldn't find those on Wikipedia either.

Hi guys and girls! So on this previous gen of gaming, what are your thoughts about the consoles and the generation itself? I actually miss this generation too even though it's just been years from this haha. Knowing that I own 3 of these and me and my fam enjoyed playing the Wii, motion control was the real deal in this gen. But I admit the Kinect had the best camera and functionality because you didn't need a controller, and the Playstation move was just like the HD version of Wii, but I liked its controller. All consoles being backwards compatible and competitive with each other, the Wii was able to compete with them due to it's different strategy of gaming where the 360 and the PS3 didn't have, thus making Wii the best selling console despite having few 3rd party games. But for me, the PS3 was the winner as it had free online service from PS network and it's controller didn't need batteries. I remembered playing most of the fighting, racing, sports and other 3rd party games here. I've also played Ratchet, Uncharted, Monster Hunter, God of War & Little Big Planet. I also play PSone & PS2 games there as well. And the Wii goes 2nd as it had lots of fun games like: Just Dance games, Super Smash Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Wii Sports, Sonic & the Black Knight and Sonic Unleashed and I also play Gamecube games there. The 360 goes 3rd since I only played shooting games there but I own GTA 4 (with episodes from Liberty City) & 5 here. And Kinect games were the only fun thing it had but for an exchange we also watched DVD movies her hahaha. Any opinions? Kindly share!

Here are some observations

Many people are incapable of processing ideas that do not fit their limited world view.

Some are deluded enough to think you are jealous, as if fame on a marginal website is some huge achievement.

Weak-minded people get annoyed when proven wrong. Rather than being happy that their knowledge has increased they block

Some will block you as soon as you ask a question that seems to contradict them. They cannot handle being critiqued or questioned for their thoughts and opinions. They believe that everyone should agree or get lost. Some even go so far as to accuse anyone who disagrees with their preconceived notions as prejudiced, racist, and/or ignorant. Or if you happen to be black or Latino, then you get called Uncle Tom, coon, Weto, or sell out.
