File:The Impact Of Wikipedia.webm

Above is an example of a video I made for the Wikimedia Foundation

Wikipedia is invincible. I mean it. They could censor it. They could imprison and execute those who create it or use it. They could blow up the servers, burn every print-out and book based on it, ban every offline copy, forbid the word Wikipedia from being spoken and it would still exist -- because it’s an idea. It’s an idea that despite all early expectations actually works. And ideas like that are few, precious and very, very sticky.
