For most of us, the Net is already the first recourse when we're trying to learn or understand something. But, this is not just a transfer of con- tent from books to electrons. In fact, knowledge now is taking on the properties of the Net itself: shared, linked, messy, and containing endless disagreements. In this vast, connected ecology, we need not only new techniques, we also need to rethink our most basic ideas about authority and truth itself. David Weinberger is a writer, blogger, consultant and a Fellow at Harvard's Berkman Institute for Internet & Society.
