    Fun fact: the word trivia comes from two Latin words meaning “three ways”. When the Romans wanted people to know something, they’d post it at the intersection of the Roman road and the track to the village or town.

    I wonder if she brought up that wikipedia may not always be entirely true. And since anyone can edit it, there maybe lots of misinformation. You have to fact check the information.

      @@pitties_2125 Exactly. Back in the day before the internet, my teachers were explicit about using at least 3 sources and only 1 could be from a magazine, unless it was about scientific/technological innovation, then 2 supporting journal articles could replace 1 book.

      @@kttv9442 Which is totally fine, as a place to start.
      I'm just saying "researching" any topic, it is prudent to check multiple sources. Not rely solely on one. Especially, one that can be freely edited by anyone, even the "Cliff Clavin" down the street. And it should be noted.
      That is why multiple sources are required in academic settings.

      @@bluelotus3750 yes, but she is talking specifically about her love of trivia and fun facts, not researching for an academic paper or in academic setting. The whole point is that this is a hobby-like interest of hers, it doesn’t need to be professional investigation into a topic. Just enough to spark curiousity.

    The key point that she effortlessly glosses right over is that ANYONE can edit Wikipedia. This doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies that everything printed in Wikipedia is fact-worthy. I still go by an encyclopedia, where it’s printed, can’t be altered, and has been truly researched by real historians. The only problem with this is with today’s “historians”, even that is getting sketchy. Ah, the beauty of advanced technologies!!

    I agree with what she is saying, I just can't watch her say it because her outfit looks about a size too small.

    Not an appropriate outfit for a public speaking gig. Have a little respect for the audience and don’t try to distract them by wearing a weird outfit that looks like it was purchased at a flea market and is 4 sizes too small. Wearing a nice pantsuit or dress would’ve been a better choice.

      Are you serious? *_That's_* what you choose to comment on here? What's "weird" about it? Jumpsuits are common. Too small? It seems to fit fine. Pantsuit or dress? Are you aware that TEDx events are pretty casual and commonplace? This isn't the big annual TED. I think your "distraction" is more telling of your own hangups rather than hers
