Introduction

The internet is the sum total of all human knowledge, indexed and organized for easy access. All hypertext systems have been developed with this dream at least somewhat in mind. Ted Nelson's Project Xanadu was a giant vision for a world-spanning network that can be used to organize all human knowledge. The internet follows very much in these older footsteps - it doesn't have every scrap of human knowledge. It just needs some time and we'll get there, sure.
