There is no shelf: the links alone are enough.
This video to me is THE outstanding clip of the year. It’s completely heartening, totally inspiring. By Michael Wesch, this is getting linked to by everyone. Every second is fascinating.
It’s about the revolution of knowledge, and what this really means to us as we inhabit it.
It’s about the growth of the Web, the ability to file everything under Miscellaneous, the power of the link, and the concurrent removal of the library structure (the shelf) from our knowledge systems.
