Google is little more than a forwarding house for Wikipedia. It is so tiresome when someone says something authoritatively in a conversation and we all know they are reading it off Wikipedia. It is one of the few websites some people seem to look at along with so called social media.

Wikipedia is built using unpaid labour, but its content is then monetised by those who wish to avoid paying content creators.
