Jimmy Whales-Ryo Nakanowatari


To the question about the possibility that students do their homework by doing cut and paste from Wikipedia, he answered it is ok because teachers also have an access to Wikipedia, so they can check and find a cheat. It is interesting because many teachers told me about it so I found that Jimmy Wales also thinks so. Regarding of accuracy, interviewer argued that Wikipedia lacks in accuracy because anyone can add something very easily. He believes that Wikipedia is updated quickly and people try hard to be accurate so it is not a great problem, but he did admit some kind of error can exist. Also he said that it is important to be critical of all the information, so though I learned that Wikipedia can be trustable but I don’t change my mind of being critical of information on the Internet. It is true that it is useful in getting information so I will use it carefully.
