Well, duh.
I just listened to some old stuff, Doc Searls On the Pod with Cameron Reilly. After more than one year of listening to podcasts it still amazes me. The content. The quality. The openness. The interconnectivity. And it is for free. If I were a student now, imagine how much more resources I’d have.
Doc Searls talks about – among other things – how the net brings people close together, bringing the latency to close to nothing, and the dichotomy of being pipes AND a place (a bit resembling the concept of light I feel). Great stuff about cognitive linguistics. Totally worth it.
