Default Ignore the misunderstandings that have produced the present world.

Ted Nelson competing with Google in organizing all of the world's knowledge. I remember a seminare with Kristen Nygaard, with their view, a Dynabook (the closest medium today is a laptop with wireless access to the internet) where he launced the idea of having access to all of the worlds information in a "dynamic book". Nelsons concept - Transclusion: Fixing Electronic Literature

Listen and view this great Google video ...

In my view nobody will never succeed in organizing all the worlds knowlege, since in my personal opinion knowledge has fractal structure. You never come to "the bottom" of a fractal like the Cantor Set. We can only scan the surface.

What is knowledge? To whom is it knowledge?
