The Emergence of Digital Media as an Information AND a Learning Tool

At last we are beginning to see the emergence into the mainstream of digital media, not only as an information tool but as a learning tool as well. However it still takes some effort to find out just what is available in the way of free learning. On a feed I get from Presentation Zen, I noticed a reference to Ben Zander that took me to Pop Tech, an obvious competitor to TED that ulimately took me to DIGG that took me to a site that provided on line links to recent lectures from MIT, Harvard, Stamford, Oxford etc.. Now the information revolution is beginning to take shape. As Clay Shirky says in his book, Here Comes Everybody whether we think access to so much information is a good or bad thing is now beyond considering, it is a reality!
