Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge is the modern world's resource library, sometimes known as a digital library. The door to the library is simply an internet connection while the authors of the books are people from right around the globe. People can publish there knowledge on the internet while other people can add, edit, update and extend on it. This will provide a very accurate, informative and may include cultural differences. The pro's of this type of information is far greater than a normal book in many cases. As all of the information can be found in one place, creating quick information processing time. There is also many other uses of collective sharing over the internet. One of the bigger uses is called bit torrent/P2P software. This allows people from all around the world to connect to an uploaders computer and download a file. The downloaders will then help upload the file, thus making the speeds better. Another form of collective sharing is the web site youtube.com. This website allows people to upload videos for people to watch and view. The viewers can then comment on the video on things such as feedback and why they liked it. In the final paragraph I will talk about the impact that collective sharing and generation of knowledge has had on education. There is two main things that the internet has done to revolutionize the education world. One is the fact that classes can be held over the internet now, for distance learners. People from all around the world can connect together for classes on a website, also with the use of a voice software voice communication is common. One of the bigger websites that allows this is moodle. Another popular website amongst maths student from around the world is www.mathletics.com. Here interactive lessons are held, people can race each other in various math equations. This website is very common at our school, the kids love it. Students at school these days have a greater amount of information available, due to the internet and the wealth of information it contains. - Bazz
