When information is not scarce, what does it mean to know?
Another very interesting video here from the folks at Kansas State University that did the Academia 2.0 post and initial response. (BTW, the first video on the linked page IS the Academia 2.0 video, so be sure scroll down to the second video.) Similar to the first video, this additional one raises huge and important questions about the nature of a world where information is not scarce. Very well done. The commentary on the blog page is short and worth seeing, too.
