This was bound to happen as we freed knowledge from the monopolies of institutions conceived in the Middle Ages and made it available to everyone. Now, knowledge, even practice, is just a few clicks away from the people instead of being monopolized in gatekeeping institutions that you must get accepted and physically attend to. In a way, we are returning to the Open Science and Engineering of the late 18th and early 19th centuries that made the Scientific Revolution happen, but this time, it is for everybody instead of being monopolized in the hands of the elite. What is more, our knowledge is increasing at an accelerating rate, and no traditional institution of education can keep up with it, even further, with teaching it. We must start teaching people how to learn and how to use the scientific method and the core of any modern methodology, instead of trying to teach them individual topics, and even less, specializations. That way, people can keep learning and keep pace with technological development.
