I remember in 8std,I was told that a computer can answer anything,if you have a computer you don't need books,we were told this in every computer class and we were waiting just to get a glimpse of computer and finally it happened after a year,I still remember the moment touching the computer,everyone was excited and I even bored my mom for almost a week with the computer story.Surprisingly the computers were treated royally in the air conditioner room.And then we got promoted to the next grade and we had computer practicals,on my turn I asked the computer few question,no response,only then my teacher said that the answer have to be fed in first and only then would the computer answer.How silly!But today,I can ask the computer anything and it answers,but who feeds the information.Google? No! Wikipedia...No Brainer,but everyone knows Wikipedia is a non profit organization unlike Google or any other search-engine which is totally dependent on Wikipedia.Wikipedia needs fund to keep it on.I donated.If u r gonna ask me why should we,then Our kids would be referring Wikipedia more than the text books,if not kids at least their teachers would.Trust me,very soon we all would be having a pager like device made by wiki,and we would use it to refer the IPC when caught by a cop,or to know the pros and cons of a gadget,or even to know the adverse effect of any drug.Just a 100 buck donated to wiki will help hundred people.
