I found the link to this article in OLDaily By Stephen Downes July 28, 2005

The article

*We Are the Web

*
*The Netscape IPO wasn't really about dot-commerce. At its heart was a
new cultural force based on mass collaboration. Blogs, Wikipedia, open
source, peer-to-peer - behold the power of the people.*
*By Kevin Kelly*

Is found in Wired Magazine *Issue 13.08

Mr. Kelly points out that the explosive growth in web content is the
result of individuals and social networks. In his future everyone
produces and consumes web content. People will participate in social
networks as part of their daily existence.

If Mr. Kelly is correct, technical education needs to go well beyond
using computer applications to include the skills, knowledge, and
attitudes needed to participate in social networks. The Wikipedia About
page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About describes one such
social network and the expectations for participants.**
