Metal is Wiki'd awesome.

You can do a lot of things with a Chromebook. Streaming video and music. Working with Google Docs. Some light gaming. But really, most of what you’re gonna do is browse the web.

Which just means, oh, your Chromebook can teach you ANYTHING about ANYTHING EVER.

Like Chrome. Or other metals. Or other things vaguely related to metal. Without even leaving Wikipedia, you can amaze your friends with metallic facts like:

Chromium is what makes stainless steel stainless. By definition, stainless steel must contain at least 10.5% chromium.

Bacteria and other microorganisms won’t grow on copper. That’s why it’s used on parts of ships to keep mussels growing and resist other forms of biofouling.

There’s such a word as “biofouling”. Who knew? Now, you.

Scientists prank each other with melting spoons. The jolly whitecoats make spoons out of gallium and serve them with tea. They look like aluminum, but their low melting point makes them melt in the tea. How droll.

DC Comics’ Metal Men were originally not part of the DC Universe. Until issue #21 (August 1966) of their original series, they never interacted with or referred to any other superheroes.

Iron Maiden’s lead singer is also an accomplished fencer, jet pilot, beer brewer, and novelist. Bruce Dickinson, who wailed in front of the British metal band during the height of their popularity in the 1980s, has done so well at so many disparate pursuits that he was cited as a polymath by a magazine called Intelligent Life.

The Metal Gear game series has been novelized several times. At least four Metal Gear novels have been spun off from the games, including two by Raymond Benson, who also wrote nine official James Bond novels in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Further exploration of this Wikimetal rabbit hole would be fun but redundant in making our point. Which is this: you can say a Chromebook is “only” for browsing the web, which means it’s “only” good for gaining access to the entirety of human knowledge. We have a feeling Bruce Dickinson would understand.
