An 85 year old on the social web

Albert: So the Internet is about volumes of information published by anyone, isn't it amazing?
 
Aunt Camille: what's so special about that? Special is when few people have something not when everyone has it.
 
She has a point, holding on to information does mean power or money. The long term implication of open access, of synergy of collective wisdom is a model of greater good.
