Wikipedia...

I am amazed at what can be found on Wikipedia. More importantly, I am impressed that people take time out of their busy schedules and lives to contribute. I have used this site innumerable number of times to search for information ranging from Accounting examples to Bollywood movie plots - two extremes, really. The reason for making this entry is because I realized that I visit this site atleast twice a day. After so much use, I now blindly trust information found on the website. And, so far, I have never been disappointed with the quality of information.

I was lamenting, a few days back, that people (especially kids) in the age of internet spend less time reading books (history, fiction, science, whatever subject..) and more time surfing the internet. However, Wikipedia has restored some of my faith. I am certain that a lot people who contribute to this website are not only young but simply motivated to learn and share.

Instead of beaming (and sending) simple messages (or article), why not simply beam http://www.wikipedia.org/ into the outer space and let intelligent life (if it exists) learn more about Earth and it's inhabitants :)?

Anyway, to end this post, I do hope I can contribute in maintaining and expanding this excellent and vast source of information
