+{{cquote|Wikipedia, for me, is both a fundamental tool for daily living and an entertianing and enlightening source of wonder.
+I often use Wikipedia, in real-time, on conversations (phone) to get information, definitions, technical data, etc. that enriches and accelerates my daily activity.
+I have a brother who does research in molecular biology. As a PhD who runs a major univesity research lab doing important work in cancer reserch, amoung other things, he often uses Wikipedia to find sources of information in areas of research that are outside of his domain of expertise.
+Wikipedia is now an important and relevent aspect of our culture, which is evolving into a collective-rational consience and moving away from the former society of separation and ingorance. We are a smarter society because of the tools like Wikipedia. }}

Besides the Myositis Association, Wikipedia was the one source I could rely on for complete information about my illness. When I needed to better understand what my physicians were telling me about symptoms or side effects from medication, I went to Wikipedia. The information was straight forward and accurate with references that helped me to better understand what I was dealing with.
