Looking back, it's hard for me to remember a world before Wikipedia. As a person who worked in research for several years, I saw many scientists and professors go to Wikipedia on a regular basis for a quick glance at information. Since Wikipedia is integrated into many browsers including the iPhone Safari browser, it is often the first choice for many people (even Neurosurgeons!) when looking up information quickly. Thus, I am inclined to participate in the creative and editing process when I see the power Wikipedia has on a global scale. The addition of the "visual editor" user interface has helped keep the process enjoyable.
