the situation where a person looks up information on
wikipedia and begins clicking on the links embedded in the articles text to continue gathering more information out of curiosity and then doing so for each proceeding article to the point where the person either has lost all
track of time or has forgotten the initial purpose of going onto the
wikipedia site
I was looking up the date of the
Pearl Harbor attack but ended up falling into a wiki
hole and next thing you know, it was 2 hours
later and I was learning about ancient feudal Japan.
