Not on internet2 hopefully. If you want to be relevant, ensure that all knowledge is distributed on open networks and stop the censorship of ideas. Stop forcing scientific propaganda down our throats. Theories are not Laws. Hypothesis does not equal truth. Laws were made to be broken.

We have an Internet2 connection. If you are on an Internet2 node, you just get all our content that much faster, I think. No conspiracy.

plz dont digitize everything. otherwise there would be no point in going to a museum. it take the reality away from history. It important to keep up to date with changing technology so just revolutionize they way to look at the artifact rather then make a hologram of the artifact so people can get up close and touch it.

The SmithsonianVision group video submissions needs to be moderated; it's full of irrelevant videos.

Lack of moderation = Web 2.0 FAIL.

Then again Smithsonian is probably not checking comments on this channel either. Yay.

Interesting comment, I like that you've warned the SI away from "digitizing everything". I think what you don't realize that that wont happen anyways. Digitizing everything would be astronomically expensive. I was an SI intern last summer working on a digitization program. Next I wanted to ask how does the Smithsonian Photography Initiative diminish a photograph's "reality" by contributing a digitized facsimile of the photo to the Flickr Commons? I am not sure it does.
