{{cquote|Wikipedia is the first place I go when I have to find information for research or just for personal interest. It's always right at my fingertips and it hasn't let me down yet. I truly admire what wiki does for the world over; promoting access to the knowledge of professionals the world over open up countless opportunities for people of all ages. It brings to mind a story about my brother. He was working on a school project and one night he decided to consult Wikipedia for some ideas. He found all the inspiration and resources he needed in just a few moments. after he presented his project to the class, his teacher gave him a letter filled with praise for his ingenuity and resourcefulness and asked if we could move him to a more advanced class. He was six at the time. My brother is eight now and has progressed to reading entire Wikipedia articles for fun. He impresses me everyday with how much he's learned. What I'm trying to say is that Wikipedia has provided children with a supplemented education outside of the formal school system with the freedom to learn what they find interesting. Wikipedia is helping to create a better future across the globe. }} |

{{cquote|The ever expanding wiki community makes me very hopeful for the society my two year old will become a part of. It is fascinating to me, even now, that the long promised future of "information at your fingertips" is here, and thriving. And what makes it even better is that it isn't controlled by just a few, but rather it is being created and maintained by the masses. }} |
