The end of the control of knowledge as a commodity

A huge change is coming to the way information is accessed and used. Information is already essentially free and can be found on demand.

With free information, what will remain will be the eternal problems of what to look at, deciding what it means, and distinguishing what is likely to be true from what is not. That will still take a lifetime.

See "The End of the Commoditization of Knowledge" and at least read the first paragraph.
