{{cquote|ever since i was in 9th grade, i had access to wikipedia... its been a wonderful 7 years of relation between me and wikipedia. although i have never edited it ever but it has been a source of my knowledge. I love science (specially astronomy) and due to lack of books and technology here in pakistan, there was no way i could be updated with recent developments or any historical event that would alter the perceptions of human mind. Wikipedia made it easier, it made my access to a whole new universe of knowledge with just a click. One can only imagine what will wikipedia evolve into?! }} |
