Wikipedia or Encyclopedia

I believe both will have problems in ten years. Encyclopedia will be the thing of the past. With the push to go "Green", paper books will disappear. Publication companies will stop updating and printing copies. They will ultimately become antiques. This major change will be the result of internet. In the future, everyone will search and receive information on the web via Wikipedia or something like it.

Today, the push to go wireless is everywhere. While more and more people head the the internet for information. They don't realizes that the information found might be wrong. Critics say most of the information on Wiki is incorrect due to the open process system. In ten years, Wikipedia will be out of control. One will not be able to determine what is true or false. Unless in the future, Wikipedia invest the time to confirm that every entry is correct. If not, I can see this site crashing and burning or becoming a joke.
