New employee has joined IT operations where I work, a youngster that is keen to learn but at the moment "don't know nothing". However, he loves asking me questions on things he comes across - and waits so I can drop things and give him my definitive geek-lore answer. This takes time and regulary puts me in line of fire from other individuals in the open plan office. So I hit upon a plan ...
Me: Freddie, you obviously know at least the name of the IT thing you are asking about. How about researching it on Wikipedia?
F: Ah, but my friends in college tell me not to use Wikipedia as there is false information in there that gets them in trouble when submitting end of term papers!
Me: So? Don't the Wikipedia pages have authorative links and discussions that you can check to see what's written is valid?
F: Ummm....
Now an old-school network administrator wakes up from his pre-mid-morning slumber.
NA: Freddie, be careful. Don't believe anything you read on the internet. Always ask!
F: I am! I'm asking him!!
Oh dear. We are both doomed.
