Maybe not in any meaningful way for our species or our industries, but I find it meaningful to me. I use it to read scientific articles on subjects I don't know much about. For example, an article talks about a percentage of the population, but I don't know how big that population is. I can simply go into Wolfram and get the missing data. I can also use it to make comparisons with other countries or time periods and, with a few basic queries, quickly explore ideas. I'm not a scientist, just a programmer with too much time and curiosity on her hands. For me, it gives me a better understanding of topics I was not trained in. I also use it almost daily to find out the nutritional value of foods. "Foods ranked by vitamin A", "Proteins in 100g of broccoli", etc.
