Information and knowledge ...

... From Great Ideas to Our Greatest Opportunity - The Internet. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

"... I can’t see obeisance to authority as either a practical solution or a social good. Rather, let the principles of open societies flourish in a world made flatter by the liberating potential of the Internet. ... On whom then should today’s students rely? On a wealth of sources, on the thoughtful guidance of good teachers, and on their own ever-growing understanding—the same things as ever. "

Indeed.
