Description

Personalised search, best match, user results - these are the names of search results provided by Google and some other services. In practice it means that you get no longer to whole web, you get no longer all web sites which fits to your keywords. The so called Deep Web is getting bigger. They say its good for you, they track you and your Internet friends and upon your acitivity, they provide you also search results. So if you cannot get all websites, all information, all point of views because some part of the web is artificially hidden (by other words it does not match with your behavior on the net days before) where youll find out the information. On Wikipedia? Only on Wikipedia? But how does the Wikipedia editors will create complete articles if they cannot find all information due to the Personalised Search? How the Wikipedia articles could be written with the neu tral point of view if their authors cannot compile them froum all point of view resources? Will this lower the Wikipedia quality in the future?
