ORE Replacements?

Just yesterday, I was engaging in one of my favorite past-times - surfing the Internet for memes and I came across this piece of gold (probably because I was talking about Open Education Resources in my 5608 group meeting! Big Brother is always watching!).

 It is really interesting to see how content collaboration and creation has brought forth so much knowledge into the education system. In instructional design, one of the perennial problems is with Open Education Resources. This problem especially effects students who are not enrolled in formal educational institutions and thus, have no access to excellent academic resources such as our lib.fsu.edu. However, sites such as Wikipedia and Google Scholar have already made more and more academic resources available to the masses. An interesting thing to note is that Wikipedia now has citations for people to see the sources where key points were derived from. Google Scholar also provides citations for available academic resources, allowing you to quickly link from one article to another. Could this possibly mean that as this develops, and more content creators participate more actively in these knowledge sharing platforms, we would no longer need to rely on expensive methods to obtain copyrighted materials? What do you think? Education for the masses!
