There are immense amounts of wisdom in the words of those before us, as well as in the knowledge of all who are currently living. Thanks to the efforts of our predecessors, we have a great base of understanding on which to build.
With the information technology of today, much of this base is and all of it can become easily accessible. However, the task of filtering through and making sense of this vast amount of information prevents fully optimal use of its value.
The solution is to collaborate to better organize and present this information.
Wikipedia is an example of the power of collaborative efforts to make information more easily accessible, but it has its flaws, for we cannot be sure of the accuracy of all of the information, and there are many errors that you would never find in an ideal source.
