(#3) Kids Complaining About Wikipedia
The sad reality is, a LOT of students are relying almost solely on Wikipedia to complete their schoolwork. Don't believe me? Check out all the young people on Twitter struggling to finish their assignments while the free and mildly trustworthy reference site took a rare 24 hour break. (NOTE: Many of these tweets were spotted by the excellent account @herpderpedia, dedicated entirely to retweeting silly things tweeted about the Wikipedia blackout.)
