It's a few weeks old, but takeCRLF the fifteen minutes or so it takes to read this six page article. Ignore the title: it's mostly the story ofCRLF Marcus, the 15 year old who became a legal expert on AskMe.Com. Reflect: what does this sayCRLF about how the internet changes our perception of education? Of credentials. Consider: "By its nature,CRLF the Internet undermined anyone whose status depended on a privileged access to information.

A general collapse in the importance of formal training was a symptom of post-Internet life;CRLF knowledge, like the clothing that went with it, was being informalized."
