General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
In the last ten years I've been surrounded in my job as an engineer by "google experts", I advise people on how to go about a job and give them information on successfully completing the job. I am constantly asked " don't you think it should be done this way" usually from a person who does not know which end of a screwdriver to use but just came back to me after "googling" and probably on a mission to cut cost, sometimes at the cost of injury or dead to others regardless.
Also wikapedia is NOT the ultimate word in correct information, it's only as good as the person supplying the info!
Everyone is an expert, to hell with my 49 years of experience!
BTW there are some frightening pieces of leathal information both on google and wikapedia, a lot from handyman "experts"
Ok...rant over...nearly retired...let the google experts get on with it!
