智能時代我們喪失的能力
Fact checking
核實事實的能力
Reference books and encyclopedias were once the gold standard for finding reference information. They provided peer reviewed and fact checked data on a vast array of subjects. They just aren't as convenient and rapidly updated as search engines, digital reference materials, and databases.
參考書籍和百科全書曾一度是查找參考信息的黃金標準,它們對各科目的大量數據都經同行評議檢查,只是用起來不如搜索引擎、數字參考資料和數據庫方便而又更新快。
That said, the results of information derived from digital sources aren't always reliable. Their information is limited by the review process. No one wants to be embarrassed by regurgitating false information.
也就是說,數字信息源的結果并非始終可靠,數字信息在審查過程中是有限的。誰也不想因照搬虛假信息而讓自己處于尷尬境地。
It's taken time, but most people now realize that wiki retrieved data comes with a caveat. To make certain you're disseminating factual information, make an effort to strictly utilize reputable and reliable sources.
但現在多數人都意識到維基百科的檢索數據手續繁瑣而又很花時間。為保證你傳播的信息真實可靠,盡量嚴格利用出處權威而又可靠的信息源。
