Perhaps, if a better graphic user interface (GUI) were developed, people could access the knowledge that you recognize as being pertinent.

I don't think it is a good idea to blame a system (education), if you haven't a concrete possible solution to present as a metric. The schools and colleges would not be focused on such if the students, and their gaurdians, were not focused on such.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
