Summary of week discussion (Feb 13)

Last week, we talked in class about the growing phenomenon of Internet and its various ways of utilization. Globally, we came to conclusion that websites like Wikipedia were good if you wanted to inform yourself for fun, but for a serious research, you absolutely had to at least double check the information in a library or even on a blog (as long as it is a serious blog). It is a great way to get information because, unlike magazines and books, it is always being corrected and up to date. Also, Internet is a great way to express yourself and show that you exist, but you have to keep in mind that everybody can see what you are writing, even your boss! Even if websites like Facebook should first be a way to have fun, you absolutely have to be careful, because you never know the future consequences of your writings……
