Today, you all are meeting Jimmy Wales—born in 1966 in Huntsville, Alabama—the guy who helped make knowledge free for everyone, everywhere.
In 2001, while most people were still figuring out dial-up, Wales launched a wild idea: an encyclopedia that anyone could edit.
Wikipedia.
Built on open-source software, written by volunteers, and available in dozens of languages, it defied everything we thought about publishing, trust, and authority.
People mocked it at first—"too chaotic," they said. But by 2005, it was more up-to-date than Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Today, Wikipedia has over 60 million articles and serves more than a billion devices a month.
Jimmy didn’t do it alone—but he protected its nonprofit status, resisted ads, and championed a vision of collaborative truth.
He’s still alive, still editing, and still advocating for free access to information in the age of AI.
Because of Jimmy Wales, a curious kid anywhere in the world can type a question—and start a lifetime of learning.
