Absolutely fascinating! The Internet is in fact gradually knitting together human knowledge, present and past, but the task is so gargantuan there is no way of knowing how many years, or more likely decades this is going to take.

Whether we will be the wiser for it is an altogether open question, but knowing our history, I rather doubt it.
