96: Astronomy, meteorology, geography, biotechnology, and earth sciences
have attained new levels of online cognitive dazzle. History is en-livened
by interactive timelines and digital reconstructions of physical places,
like the Hippodrome at Constantinople, that no longer exist. Examples

CONTEXT
THAT IS COOL
BECAUSE IT IS NOT CLEVER
It's not the medium that makes knowledge content valuable.
ONLY the content really makes something great.
The edgie tools should only be used if they express
the inherent meaning of the content.
The following websites are at the edge because
they DO NOT spoil rich meaning with distracting gimicks.
