This is a great argument for open annotation, isn't the cultivation of curiosity the key to creating beings who want to engage in the world around them, and in turn the key to creating learning through active thinking?

This line strikes me in many different ways. One being the possibility of open annotation, connection and discussion as relating to specific texts, a jumping off point for further research. The other being, this overwhelming feeling that comes with anything that is completely open-ended. Am I alone in feeling a burden instead of a total freedom from this idea of unlimited possibility or connection? Sometimes it makes me want to just crawl in a hole with a good book (in paper, that I can smell and touch and feel).
