A Low Cost Wiki

To set up a low cost multiuser project bulletin board, try using a free website set up with multiple user access to the site's data files. One I use is Microsoft's Small Business Office Live. For $14.95 you can get through them a fully custom domain name. Typically, the home page can be accessed by anyone and provides general site information and guidance. Most important is you can set up password protected documents so that authorized members of your Wiki (group) can access and edit documents pertaining to their projects and tasks.

The Global Network Brain and the Goal of Truth

Especially due to massive low-cost computer clouds and nearly limitless communications networks connecting them to us, culture will irreversibly change and will change the intellectual ecology of the earth. The brain that made man special over all the other creatures has created a networked brain about whose magnitude and consequences we can only speculate.

This growing Internet brain will offer any kind of instant data and apparent solutions to problems. But for humans to maintain their independence, and personal programs of achievement, education must emphasize that truth is the important goal of the searches and not feel-good satisfaction.
