Abstract

The present study investigates the decomposition caused by an information catastrophe in the electronic era where an array of information has become extremely easier and cheaper to construct, maneuver and systematize through a qualitative theoretical underpinning from distinguished theoreticians in the field. Quoting a few user generated sites such as the Wikipedia (Online Encyclopedia) that anyone can edit, this chapter highlights critical apprehension over the generation of over-abundant content by unidentified multiple sources over this open sharing model. Recommendations and suggestions on effectual inquiry of published content over user generated sites for scholars around the world to rely on shape the finishing fraction of this chapter.
