This has probably been going on since we've had culture. You know, I just had a weird connection when you mentioned that - I'm reminded of one of the early scenes to 2001: A Space Odyssey... The "dawn of man" scene. Link posted below for reference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2XcPNSeUMQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2XcPNSeUMQ One ape wakes up and notices the monolith, starts to make a little noise. This in turn wakes up the rest of the apes and they start to make more noise, their tribe is running quite wild. Eventually one starts to try and interact with the object, soon more follow and learn from it. If you think about it, this is pretty much the essence of web 2.0
