"We have, however, built up knowhow and a database by extracting knowledge from users' brains." What he's talking about is a three-year-old initiative called "Knowledge-In." --- Knowledge-In is similar in some ways to Wikipedia, don't you think. Gotta like it, in any event. The overall statement that the article makes is a harbinger, I think, of the coming shift in hegemony, or the removal, would be more like it, from the US to other cross-sections of the globe, primarily in the east. It doesn't take an analytical genius to understand the straight-line trend that already places China at the head of the line in terms of wireline broadband within the next year. The 90-10 relationship of ten years ago is rapidly being turned on its head. Yet, some of the Internet-related architectural directions chosen by countries in the east are being eschewed by the west with a kind of impunity that could easily result in the west's being left on the outside looking in. I'm referring to the uptake of IPv6, language- and cultural- related capabilities, representational issues, and more that are not being adequately accommodated to assure that the balance doesn't shift too far in the other direction - or do not appear as though they are consciously being accommodated - by the west in an equitable fashion at the present time. And vice versa, I'm sure. ------
