Open Access Vs. Closed Access | Taylor's blog

Summary:

It is hard to picture a world without it, but I imagine those who lived their entire lives without knowing the internet still got along just fine. That being said, I would bet those same people would be jealous of the access to information we have available through the internet. And to me it is as simple as that. Every person who has access to the internet (that isn’t censored) has such an unbelievable amount of information available to them that to not utilize it is an insult to those in the past who strived for knowledge, but could not obtain it. But this isn’t enough. While we truly do have access to an amazing amount of information it is important to remember that knowledge isn’t static.
