| Knowledge is Power | 834 dni temu | ||
Knowledge is Power--or so we've been told. But then we are also told "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". So how do we evalutate when we have more than a "little" knowledge? That we have "enough" to speak/write well on a subject?Too often today, we search the web for that quick dose of knowledge without any awareness of who is offering up the information. One of my favourite websites to demonstrate this is: http://www.suite101.com/articles.cfm... Christine Inge published a set of webpages on Regency Era England several years back that still are available on the web. And I do not say that all her facts are wrong...but with the egregious(easily identified) errors given, it puts all her other research in doubt. http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/... on page two Inge writes: "Life in general settled down considerably after Prinny's daughter Victoria ascended to the throne." A simple check of an English history book or a genealogy chart would tell any seeker that Victoria was Prinny's(George IV) niece not daughter. There are many good, well researched webpages out there, but even more ill-informed pages. Pity, they are not easily identified as to which is which. | |||
