Learning from the block of Wikipedia in Turkey, how it was affected young minds.

For aspiring scientists, Wikipedia wasn't just a website; it was a launchpad. It fueled their curiosity, offering a vibrant universe of articles on groundbreaking discoveries, inspiring biographies of scientific pioneers, and intricate explanations of complex phenomena. Finding alternative sources proved cumbersome, limiting their exploration, and dampening their passion for research.

Choosing a path in science or technology isn't easy. Young minds need guidance and a clear vision of the future. Wikipedia offered a glimpse into diverse scientific fields, showcasing real-world applications and career options. Uncertainty clouded their dreams, leading some to reconsider their ambitions and turn towards other fields.

The ban severed the vital connection, stifling their entrepreneurial spirit and creativity. Imagine brilliant app ideas and groundbreaking solutions locked away, unshared and unrealized, due to a lack of access to the collaborative tools and knowledge they needed. The consequences of limited opportunities and a stunted academic environment were stark. Many talented young minds saw their futures dimming in Turkey. The lure of open knowledge and vibrant research ecosystems abroad became increasingly tempting.

But remember, the ban has been lifted now. Wikipedia shines again, a beacon of knowledge and hope for young minds. The future remains unwritten, a canvas waiting for their strokes of innovation. It's our responsibility to ensure that young people have the tools and access they need to turn their dreams into reality. Let us keep Wikipedia and other platforms of knowledge open, not just for the present, but for the brilliant future that awaits young scientists and technologists.
