I am slowly recognizing that, no matter where we stand as individuals on the continuum of electronic adeptness, we are beginning a revolution in knowledge accessibility. The data available to each of us through our devices is staggering, and the amount will only increase through time.

My wife just completed a research paper,using foreign archives (much help with Google translator), all without leaving our study. About twenty year ago, extensive, and expensive, travel would have been required. Now costs are negligible.

We correspond regularly with distant foreign family members. I can quickly summon a copy of a USGS topo map I wish to examine, and download it. Examples go on and on. Just look at the interchange on this forum, and many others.

What will tomorrow bring??
