      What does the future hold for ordinary people's needs to learn on line for free (or for fees so small they are affordable by anyone not in financial straits)?

      Learn what? Learn anything and everything it takes to earn a living-- and anything and everything it takes to appreciate that fact.

      Learn how? Learn on line-- via a desk top audio-visual terminal and/or something smaller, but large enough to offer a learning experience nearly as good as the terminal. Signals feeding the terminal will be over wire, fiber or airwaves. Learners will be alone, partnered or grouped. Their knowledge and acquired skills will be testable by themselves-- and with their permission by others.

      Learn why? To enable and encourage obedience to the Golden Rule, participation in a universal learning system, and to spread the blessings of liberty and equality as far they can reach. To make the peace, keep the peace and protect the peace from from all things that may disrupt it-- by all means possible, that do not make thing worse.

      Or fewer words to the same effect.

      Had to look it up, Google's motto: "Don't be evil!" Well that worked well.

      What happened to Google's maxim of, "Don't be cruel," or "Don't be shitheads," or some such?

      Watching Chris Anderson qualify "Free" was pretty amusing. What a huckster.

      I was upset myself by the Google-Verizon turnabout, but it seems, at least at the moment, to be a tempest in a teapot, merely, they say, recognizing that the physical capabilities of mobile at this time require a bandwidth restrictions. However, till now business has supported the universal Internet, but what happens if they do withdraw their support in favor of purely proprietary access again, like the media it supplanted? That and the "applications" business supporting it, will depend, I think, on the desire of ppl to pay to belong, and the feeling it confers. It is after all the time-honored business practice to make things exclusive, and they couldn't do it without the concurrence of the public in most cases. Social networking is clearly the closest competitor for the current ad model, and could be shifted in this direction. I think there are limits to its universal appeal, tho it certainly doesn't look like it at the moment. Yahoo recently aggregated all of its stuff into a Facebook format without telling anyone, which made me livid when I discovered my mail accts, all of a sudden, not only receiving "updates" from ppl I didn't know, but also revealing my personal info to them. Far worse than any Facebook misdemeanor. M$ has never been an Internet company, nor even in my opinion a consumer-oriented company, but built around supplying business software. It is possible they may have an edge if things go this way provided they pay attention to it.
