Internet is more reliable than a book because info on the internet is always up to date.

Can I ask you a question?

Why is it that, if the time ever comes that a person should argue with you to the point that they win the arguement, and your point is moot, that you can always find something to say, or a question to ask, or do something in reply, so that your point becomes un-moot, or the argument turns in your favor, or you make the other person look like an idiot?


run on sentence, or too many commas, or moot, moot moot.

No. Yes, the internet is up to date, but the book publishers wont give you the time of day if your book sucks. If your book is falsehood, they just say "buh-bye". The internet can be influenced and edited by pretty much Anyone. :^U

In all seriousness, I hate it when people say that Wikipedia isn't a reliable source. Yes, anyone can edit it. But did you know that the University of Chicago, among many other organisations, has done studies and proven more than once that it has a higher percentage of accuracy than the Encyclopedia Brittanica or any other encyclopedia?

I hate when the dumb bitch library lady goes on a rant about how Wikipedia isn't a reliable source simply because it's freely-edited.

It's also probably the most widely used and well-funded information source on the webbernet.

Also, the fact that the entries are monitored and kept under control, unlike personally owned freewebs sites.
