Words cannot describe how happy this makes me. My pet peeve is being addressed!

I dream of the day when I can learn science, as a non-university-affiliated citizen, by simply surfing from primary reference to primary reference via inline links.

I'm also extremely happy, especially since just today I watched a Walter Lewin physics lecture from MIT's OpenCourseWare, and a History lecture from Yale via Academic Earth.

The more people can read primary sources for free, watch lectures online, etc, the better off this civilization will be.
