Wikipedia, the sixth largest website in the world, has more than 300 articles in most languages, and most internet users are sure to use it for research as well as for general knowledge. So let’s take a look at the reasons why Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, gives people around the world free use of even a penny or a dollar.
Jimmy Wales started out as a book-loving boy. His mother bought him countless books that made him love education the most. He is a person who likes to learn on his own, research knowledge without school. Twenty years later, he realized that the information in many books was still missing, and that some of the information was outdated and not yet 100% usable.
Therefore, this Anglo-American man and another co-founder, Larry Sanger, decided to create this website as the technology age came to keep more information updated and allow more people to write. Update and update new information every year, and can facilitate the work of many people who have a career and earn more money on the Internet.
The 57-year-old entrepreneur said: "I could be a millionaire, but I just want to be simple and be able to help a lot of people. Launching this program to the public is a wise decision. The most meaningful thing in life I can find is that I live for education and have a deep love for it, rather than when I am just looking for money. "On the other hand, if I use this site for profit, many children in some poor areas will not be able to pay to get knowledge of this site."
Founded in 2001, Wikipedia is a non-profit organization dedicated to consumer and philanthropic work, and currently employs nearly 700 people. Employees are usually paid hourly or monthly.
