Listen "Do We Know Anything Anymore?"
Episode Synopsis
Like the Internet, knowledge today is inclusive and overwhelming, unsettled and messy, and linked, says David Weinberger, author of Too Big to Know: Rethinking Knowledge Now That the Facts Aren't the Facts, Experts Are Everywhere and the Smartest Person in the Room Is the Room. The demise of the Encyclopedia Britanica and the uncertain future of the newspaper and libraries demonstrates that the Internet is destroying knowledge as we have always known it. But according to Weinberger, we shouldn't fear these changes but rather embrace them.
