As I read through the information about NPR blogs and wired news, I realized that Wikipedia tends to create these things in effort for their own advancements. I dont think that the program should allow for changing of information by random other people. So many people use this program for research and count on its contents to be factual. I definitely do not like the idea of Diebold being able to change Wikipedia information. This only brings concerns for the public and shows much weakness in their system. It's very scary that the information that is being fed to the public could very well be a lie.
As far as my opinion and feelings toward Wikipedia and its components, I do not think that I fully trust the information. I have used this as a resource in the past and now that I am understanding all the kinks and mishaps of the system, I dont know that I will ever use it again. Its not fair for Wikipedia to put information on the web about educational topics since so many people use this as a resource in their own studies. There is no way of truly knowing what has been altered, so I will most likely stay away!
