As useful as it is, Wikipedia can undoubtedly be better. I think an important part of this is seeing what it has to offer as a non-traditional encyclopedia. Wikipedia articles represent the evolutionary synthesis of ideas. A new article format could let users see this process.

There are enough that you don’t bother to count, they’re fixed to the white ground, and seem almost a part of it.

I'm pretty sure that makes exactly zero sense.  That's okay, because I'm pretty sure you've figured out what it means.

It's the reality of our era. We are saturated by technology, but we utterly fail to make that technology work for us. Where I look to hear about a new generation of freely-educated students who spent their time learning for the love of it, I see a generation of twitch-happy gamers barely capable of participating in an activity that doesn't involve virtual reality.

If you use technology, always make sure it is for a purpose. Otherwise, it's just noise.
