+{{cquote|In the early 1950s my parents were professors at the University of Tucuman in North West Argentina. When we children got to the age of 10 we were allowed to sit at the dinner table as our parents entertained fellow academics from the University.
+Animated discussions would often arise that usually led my father to dash into his study to retrieve some reference work from his big library in order to settle some point in the debate.
+Now, whether I'm with friends or family and a discussion arises whilst we're at the table, anything that needs some explanation or clarification gets immediately typed into the Google search engine on a nearby notebook connected to Internet and Wikipedia at once emerges as the first point of reference. Oh! How my father and his fellow professors would have loved to have had this phenomenal tool at their fingertips! And it keeps getting better and better as more and more of us take part in refining the quality of the information held available for the world to consult. It has become so important a first source of information that I cannot imagine a world without its ubiquitous presence. I am deeply grateful. }}
