I don't...I can't... WTF? How young are the people on twitter to not know who the Beastie Boys are? Yeah, I knew one of their names was Adam, but hell, a quick google search told me who he was. I won't even get into the horror of seeing the Titanic twittersode.
Before Teh Interwebs, I would call my grandmother if I had a question about cooking, my grandpa about math, my dad about cars, etc etc. Even today if I need to know something, I'll either call mom if I'm being extremely lazy or I'll google it (and NOT USE WIKIPEDIA DEAR LORD WHY). My niece did a report on Walt Disney and she was using wikipedia (she's 11), and I refused to allow her to cite those pages. I found the real information on Disney's site, plus his IMDB (Which I know isn't a whole lot better, but using that, I was able to find "legit" resources). I don't think teachers should allow Wikipedia as a resource. Ban it, make the kids look a bit harder than the first 3 returns on google, and LEARN SOME SH**.
