    Wikipedia was started in 2001, and Google in 1998. Who was saying this to you when you were 2?

      The platforms existing doesn’t mean they have been as wide spread as they are today

        They said “no Google and no Wikipedia,” not “Google and Wikipedia were not as widespread as they are today”

          I feel like you misread. I think they meant Wikipedia and google not allowed for sources.

              The subject became “stupid shit teachers say that is not applicable in the real world” and in that context the subject never changed. They were probably told “you won’t have a calculator in your pocket all the time” as well as “don’t using the internet(google and Wikipedia) as sources” which was very common to be told around the time when they would have been in school. I’m not attacking you I just think you misunderstood as everyone is possible of doing.
