Jimmy Wales - Haruki Washio


The original vision for Wikipedia is “Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge” but the cost of data prevents millions of people from accessing Wikipedia. In fact, some schools do not have their own libraries in developing countries. In such a case, Wikipedia works as a precious source of information. Even though students have cellephones, they cannot afford data. Therefore, Jimmy tried hard to give them free access to Wikipedia. I was impressed with his attitude. I feel he is taking pride in his job.
