"With the knowledge web, humanity's accumulated store of information will become more accessible, more manageable, and more useful. Anyone who wants to learn will be able to find the best and the most meaningful explanations of what they want to know. Anyone with something to teach will have a way to reach those who what to learn. Teachers will move beyond their present role as dispensers of information and become guides, mentors, facilitators, and authors. The knowledge web will make us all smarter. The knowledge web is an idea whose time has come."

I wonder sometimes if schools and university's are necessary. If one want's to learn about something, it's all there. of course everything has to be cross checked and tested. Isn't that a better than taking everything verbotum.
I'm sure that the authorities took the trouble to arrange some kind of security and searches for plagerism, the exams could even be completed on line at the students convenience.
Sorry about the spelling.
Interesting!
And we always ask the kids at supper: "What did you learn today." Never thought to ask it to each other.....great idea.
tick, i think the parts we learn in schools which would be difficult to do on our on are discipline and socialization.
jay, my partner is very well educated and hard working. we enjoy being equals which means i have to stay on my toes.
