"Freedom of data" is trumping "freedom of information."<BR/><BR/>And "access to education" is being trumped by "access to training," and by pooling our recent immediate experiences (ever see a cluster of members of that younger generation grouped around a computer sharing what they know [or only feel they know] about how the software or database works?). Nobody reads the manual any more, because there <I>isn't</I> a manual any longer. Give me a quick PowerPoint with a few bullet points! No time even for a workshop. Education?
