Yeah. Actually, internet makes the students less go to the library. The library is not that crowded anymore compared to those days where internet access were still not created.

So what? It doesn't matter. This is what technology is improved for; to make our lives easier. Why aren't you going to post your mail in a mail-box in real world when you have the email facility? Why are you using pump-machines to bring out the water from the well? You could you use a bucket tied to a rope? But you don't do that since we have donkey pumps and all that technology available. Now you know why students go to the Wikipedia. :)

Hey, Yea I know, but I have also heard that Wikipedia can't actually replace the proper encyclopedias mainly because anyone on Wikipedia can actually change what something says on a specific topic or something like that. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Although one can surely copy-paste an article, a teacher can always ask questions to make sure that the person actually has an idea of what the subject is about. We live in the information age, so it would only be normal for us to do things from the comfort of our homes. I think the bottomline is whether one uses the advantages of technology to be more efficient (you can save time, for example going to the library) or to slack off (the copy-paste method). Don't you agree ?
