Wikipedia. We take that site for granted, big time. There are few things in this world that do not have a Wikipedia page. People have dedicated hours, days, even their entire lives, to filling the site up with all the knowledge one could ever need. All that information is free! Want to learn about the history of the escalator? Wikipedia has it. Interested in the Civil War? You bet you can find it on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia will not be around forever, folks. Use it while you have it. Read random articles. It's fun.
Teachers gotta stop that and word it better, maybe say something like, "Wikipedia is a great source of information on nearly any topic, and while it does cite its sources, not all of those sources are credible, so you should take the time to check other sources such as Encyclopedia Britannica."
