Founder of Wikipedia and Interest in Technology

Hello there, are you a founder of Wikipedia?

Other than this, are you interested in inventing new technologies, since you are the one that revolutionized Wikis and how information is presented on the internet? If so, what types of technology do you enjoy or are used to? Additionally, what are your favorite articles to edit and Wikiprojects to join? But are you interested in reading books in order to gain knowledge?

Thank you if you answer me. •TechScience2044 (|send me a note|) 19:50, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
