Knowledge, Learning, Community
Long but visionary article following many of the same trends I have observed (and predicted) over the last few years. Though I have already grumbled to the author about the references to Microsoft (as a technology leader), I appreciate the overall flow of the article: from cheap computing to cheap communication to cheap content and, in 2010, cheap learning. I also agree with the author on the technology side: that Voice Internet Pads, or VIPs will be ubiquitous and the primary means of communication and access to learning resources in the future.
