However, as a student myself, I feel like I need to address the issue from the
other side of the table. If I'm on my laptop and there is a concept that I
might want to find out more about - maybe because the discussion in the source
I'm currently invested in does not do the appropriate job or I'm in an article
that is above my level of understanding - I'm going to type that term in my
search bar on my browser. Try it yourself, Google/Yahoo/Bing "Prolongation
music" (because with some terms, it's necessary to distinguish music
versus another common term) - and bam! - that blasted Wikipedia page is the
very first entry! <br>
