...amaze (within four days, no less than 21 million viewers had paid witness to Susan Boyle’s on-stage coup d’état). The more fundamental change, however, has come in the content, volume, and sources from which we glean our information. The scope and depth of answerable academic questions has broadened dramatically with the advent of digitized databases. Indeed, it is inside the classroom that the Harvard student has most directly experienced the much-celebrated “democratization of knowledge.” Wikipedia and other free information databases that are created...
Living with a developmentally or physically disabled person completely changes the scope of almost every aspect of one’s daily life.
