Good Question

How was Napoleon important to the development of the modern computer? That kind of question is typical of James Burke, host of the well-known Connections television series. You'll be able to find the answer to this and many other trails of connected thought on his forthcoming KnowledgeWeb project. Burke and his collaborators are creating a database with "almost infinite number of paths of exploration among people, places, things, and events." A smart web within the web.
