What Saul Khan is doing is fabulous. There are hundreds of incredible examples of the Internet enabling wonderful initiatives pushing positive good to the peoples of the world.

The discussion has focused on privacy and not sure why I am advancing the discussion of loss to of freedom but what the hell. Even great than the loss of privacy is the loss of freedom or at least the ability to restrict and control the freedom of the peoples of the free world.

Simply, now that virtually all parts of our lives are directly or indirectly affected by technology, what happens when the controlling group, whomever that may be, elect to take control of the technology. Everything from access to funds, access to information (i.e. the Internet), access to communications (i.e. cell phones), etc. etc.

It is beyond imagination what the intended AND unintended consequences are going to be to free societies as we know and enjoy today. sorry for painting with such dark colors today.
