The explosion of knowledge on the internet, the easy accessibility of this knowledge and the sheer power we can harness from the exponential growth of knowledge is limitless. Whole economies and infrastructures have been built on knowledge. And the process of acquiring this knowledge has impacted how the world now learns.
