I have always loved technology and have been lucky enough to witness the birth of what imbeciles call "the new technology", capable of doing things a that few years ago were absolutely unimaginable. It has afforded countless opportunities for all. Wonderful. And yet, I am not completely satisfied, because of the biblical dictum that many are called but few are chosen. Take Wikipedia, which I have renamed "Wackipedia" because it is truly wacky and irresponsible, and cannot be trusted. It must be used with a grain of salt because, as it is a universal encyclopedia written by all and sunder under no real scholarly control, its accuracy is always in doubt. We are forced to double-check its information from reliable sources. Some articles are exceedingly long, while others are much too short. Very laudatory with some living authors, and miserly with others. And the translations into Spanish are a barrel of laughs! Of course, we can always consult The Encyclopedia Britannica, a truly reliable source of scholarly information, but we have to pay. Cheap is dear, as we all know.
