章節(jié)摘錄

　　4. From time to time, we need an expert. In such situations, the In- ternet has been like a gift from the gods. In the old days, authorities were near at hand for expert advice, the village seamstress on how to make a buttonhole, the blacksmith on how to take care of a horses hooves, or the apothecary on what to do about warts. On the In- ternet, advice and answer sites are popping up all over the place, with self-proclaimed experts at the ready.　　5. Exp. com claims to have "tens of thousands of experts who can help you," while the more restrained Abuzz. corn, owned by The New York Times, limits its pitch to "Ask Anything！ Real People. Real Answers. " Its said that expert sites or knowledge networks represent the latest stage in the Internets evolution, a"demoeratization of ex- pertise." However, if your question is about something other than "Who invented the light bulb？", the answers are likely to be a wild potpourri of personal opinions.
