Today we cannot live without mobile devices, but neither can we do without the Internet in general. A clear example of our dependence on the network is the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that has largely replaced the old physical (and digital) encyclopedias to allow everyone to access your information. Reliable or not, it has an army of people who check the veracity of your information on a daily basis, so that we can feel on neutral ground. Obviously on Wikipedia, they have to live on something, on donations … Now they have just updated their website allowing payment of donations with Apple Pay.
A means of payment which for the moment is not accessible to everyone but which will undoubtedly encourage more people to go to the cash register. In the donations section we will now see all payment options including Apple Pay, with a few clicks we can decide to go to the cashier and donate the money we want to Wikipedia using the cards stored in Apple Wallet.
How will they use our donations? Well, from what they tell us on the site itself (non-profit), part of the income goes to tecology: Servers, bandwidth, maintenance, development. Wikipedia is one of the most visited websites in the world, but it runs on a fraction of the resources used by other sites. And another part of the income goes to their own platform employees: The top 10 most visited websites employ thousands of people. We come we have 550 employeesTherefore, your donation is a great investment in a highly effective non-profit organization. So now you know, if you believe in a medium like Wikipedia, come and bring your grain of sand, so you will defend freedom of information.
