Similarities: Blog and Wikipedia are both available in internet. Both media can be created and updated by anyone who have connection to online. Also, these media can be used for getting latest information about any topic.
In Blog if you want to fix something or give comment on creators' opinion, anyone could update it by give reply to those problems or topic. Also, like the Blog's updating process, Wikipedia can be updated by logging on to the site and make changes to what other's wrote on the site.
Differences: Between Blog and Wikipedia, there are about two differences. First of all, Blog is only for writer's own opinion on any topic so it could provide wrong information but for Wikipedia, it's almost like a encyclopedia which means that most of the time, it doesn't have any false information. Second, Blog is more personal cyber-space where as wikipedia has more scholarly articles. For example, if a person write his/her journals or diaries on some site, it can be called Blog but for Wikipedia, writing journals or diaries is not appropriate.
Importance in today's world: With Blog and Wikipedia's instant updates, people could obtain any information that they need anytime and anywhere they need as long as they have internet connection. I believe the pace of today's world is very fast so we need to update our information really fast so I think by Wikipedia and Blog is the most efficient way to update our knowledge.
