Please Listen to Me: Wikipedia, Web 2.0 and Human Nature
In the last of our four-part Wikipedia lecture series, Marshall Poe, Eastern Michigan University's McAndless Scholar for 2007-2008, explored why anyone contributes to Wikipedia, why everyone uses it, and whether it can be trusted. The answers are rooted in human evolution.
Marshall Poe is the founder of Memory Archive: The Encyclopedia of Memories and the author of a forthcoming book from Random House entitled WikiWorld: The Globalization of Knowledge in the 21st Century.
