{{cquote|The modern internet has been shaped by Wikipedia in ways no-one could have expected. Ten years ago, if someone wanted to learn, even topically, about a new subject, it may have taken them several hours to find the information, and it would be disorganized and unsorted. Now, Wikipedia is searched millions of times a day for casual interest, conversational dialogue, historical and political coverage, and is, in short, the best and largest single-source repository of moderated information on the internet. The world has changed, and Wikipedia is an undeniable and unshakable pillar of the information age.}} |

{{cquote|Wikipedia has been my constant friend through college and until today. Purely academic research is rare in my country, the Philippines, and the research materials even more uncommon. While one cannot fault a lack of focus on science (as my country is relatively poor), one can protest against the difficulty of acquiring information that could very well lead to changes to our world. |
