the best two argument to support using the wikipedia

in my opinion, the best two argument to use wikipedia rather than traditional encyclopedia are that,using wikipedia is much more convenient and the information provided in there is sometimes much more updated than the traditional encyclopedia.

first of all, the accessibilty of wikipedia is very high. nowadays, in Hong Kong, most, nearly all family have at least one computer in their home, and many of them have been already enjoying the internet services because of the bloomong development of internet company like PCCW. Thus, it is not a difficult thing for a ordinary family to search wikipedia online.

Moreover, the price of an encyclopedia is quite expensive, for example, in the official website of Commercial Press (http://www.cp1897.com.hk/simple_search_result.php?simple_words=encyclopedia&first_search=true), we can found that the price of an encyclopedia is over two hundred dollars. thus, because  searching the net is much cheaper than buying an encyclopedia, must people will choose to use wikipedia to find information.

on the other hand, the information is much more updatedand rich in wikipedia, for example, the authors of The Encyclopedia of the Chinese Overseas only fifty people (http://www.cp1897.com.hk/product_info.php?BookId=9620415892), but in wikipedia, there are any people with different knowlege can access into wikipedia and provide or correct any information, thus the information can be much more rich and well explained.
