That's what I thought untig using Wikipedia a lot. With books information is hardly linked, difficult to save. With Wikipedia, it's super easy to bookmark or copy link in Notes.

School and innovation is mostly about meandering around for many years. I find general knowledge notions (geography and history) very useful to attack mathematics, physics or biology notions for example. I think what's very important there is how we link the Wikipedia knowledge and its sources in some "virtual palace".

From my experience in school and college, we have the lecture one or a few times and no more. Wikipedia + Google/Lectures + Notebooks make it fun for me to go back to enhance my own notes: add an explaination image, some notes, add a link.
- gsatic 4y agoYup Wiki/internet definately has advantages over books and libraries. Just that there are processes going on outside of better quality info, better access to info etc. Maybe someday some one will find better ways to incorporate them and produce better learning environments. Nothing is static. Things are always changing. People have been talking about it eg - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VW31eOorx-I https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VW31eOorx-I But Today I think lot of kids (and adults) are getting lost because of the sheer amount of info. Lot more needs to be done to improve it.
