Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amazing is the power of technology and net. Google, Bingo, Soople or any other search engines are so much useful and informative to today's younger generation to access information and enrich their studies. Those were the days when we were young and students, we were struggling to buy books, visit libraries, subscribe managizens or news papers and so on. With emergence of internet and mobile technology besides note books / laptops, today we can access any information any time any where. I envy the twenty-first century generation really.

Wikipedia has all the meanings and definitions besides past data on so many events. One interesting feature of this site is that we can even make changes, additions or corrections, if we are confident of the information pertaining to any of the items already loaded. Today, when I click for the site, it throws up all the past events of historical importance on the date, August 22, 2010. Very interesting, indeed.
