Introduction


    The Wiki offers a brief look at one of the most useful rising Web
    2.0 technologies: the Wiki. The Wiki is a website that allows for
    the creation and editing of a number of inter-connected
    WebPages. Wikis can cover a number of topics from historical
    topics to new technologies. As an information sharing tool, the
    Wiki provides an excellent platform for group work, where
    group members can build off of each others' research and
    improve their findings, resulting a much more refined database
    of information.
History of Wikis
Pre-Modern/Modern Wikis Concepts


 Before theinvention of the world wide web, precursors to the
  Wiki rose in the field of communication. For example, the
  "memex" concept, a microfilm reader that would create links
  between related articles to allow for a "trail" of information.
  Like wikis, "memex" would be self contained systems of specific
  information.
 Since then, wikis have exploded over the internet, with the
  spread of Wiki software allowing for more individual wikis to be
  created. Corporations have taken to utilizing wikis, such as
  Google and Amazon, and individuals can now easily create wikis
  for specific interests, such as wikis to cover video games or
  television shows.
A Wiki is a tool in which users can create a site

Characteristics   in collaboration. A defining characteristic of
                  Wiki technology is the ease with which pages
                  can be created and updated. This is possible by
                  the use of simple web pages that are accessed
                  by a user who is allowed to create and edit
                  directly from the page. Users then can add a
                  "new page" and create a new topic to the Wiki.
                  Usually the pages of wikis are connected by
                  hyperlinks, which instantly transfer a user from
                  page to page.
