Generalists and specialists
Quote: "Never before has the barrier to sharing and accessing information across disciplines been so low, and as a consequence, fields like social network analysis have become reinvigorated. The falling cost of information processing has also increased the amount of quantified analysis in every field. Most social sciences are rapidly converging with economics and even hard sciences. Educational programs stem from research and the definition of fields of study, offering more inter-disciplinary educational paths."
Comment: I agree...barriers for sharing information have never been lower...and yet, it seems, the possibility of controlling information flow (i.e. closed content in education) have never been greater.
