Common Man

… is not really common anymore. One of the reasons why he stayed common was due to the restriction on access to “uncommon” content. But with each day, access to information is getting faster and unrestricted. The ease of finding content online is changing the perspective of content owners. Content owners themselves are distributing it for open use.

Here are some of my observations:

Can’t (afford to) go to a top school? How about top schools coming to you – MIT open courseware and UC Berkely lecture videos.

Want to impress your friends with magic tricks? They probably have already seen it on youtube (as well)!!

How about debugging your code down into the source code of .NET framework class?

TV broadcast content is available on their websites as well. (abc, nbc, and live streaming too cnn ibn)
