Amazing! Confluence of technology and information: Wiki and the concept of the living encyclopedia, the Wikipedia, a free content encyclopedia that anyone can edit now has nearly a half million articles in the English version in the following categories: Culture, Geography, History, Life, Mathematics, Science, Society, and Technology.
On February 9, 2005, Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, gave a 40-minute talk to Howard Rheingold's Stanford University class on “Toward a Literacy of Cooperation.” You can read a complete transcript of his talk at this link in the Wikimedia Commons.
For education, this is huge!
