5. “Knowledge now lives not just in libraries and
museums and academic journals. It lives not
just in the skulls of individuals. Our skulls and
our institutions are simply not big enough to
contain knowledge. Knowledge is now a
property of the network, and the network
embraces businesses, governments, media,
museums, curated collections and minds in
communication.”
