random thoughts

here's an interesting question i formed today:

i noticed today that my record label marketing textbook uses wikipedia as a cited source. i did a double take. i'm pretty sure in every academic setting i've ever been in, this has been frowned upon.

does this mean that wikipedia will eventually become a reputable source for information, and completely legit to cite from? if so, this is a big step for the internet and the spread and consolidation of knowledge through it's various channels. as far as the information age is concerned, i find this very interesting.
