google came to my rescue yesterday when i scrambled to access information about the exam i had today. due to a screw up on my part i had been locked out of my apartment, and hence my study materials. i went to my parents, and used their cable modem to query google about the subjects of my exam. not only did i get 10s of papers for each keyword, those lecture notes were often much better than the one provided by my university. i was thus able to understand many key concepts at the last minute, because i was able to pick the lecture note that explained it best for each topic. applied more broadly, this means that lecture notes from one university have to compete with 100s of others because i can instantly compare them. more empowerment for me, and the incompetence of most faculty members becomes obvious.
