Amazing!

Before the printing press only the wealthy elite ever even saw more than one book (the bible).

As the Internet evolves, the barrier between people and educational material is being erased. This site provides access to a research library of material to produce more Ph d's that one life could ever attain.

Of course the barriers of time, determination, etc. still remain. That can be frustrating with so many interesting possibilities.
