For me, Wikipedia represents a very good proof of how knowledge is challenged by the 2.0 world. With advantages and disadvantages, of course: the increase of the number of people with direct accesss to information - both as consumers and producers of information - means not only that we are able to enrich our culture easily, but also that the reliability of sources - hence, the doubtful value of what we are reading - should be checked at least twice. But, in the same time, the affordability of a system as Wiki offer to many people - not with purposive "technical" skills to enter, make the corrections considered appropriate and delivering, at the end of the process, the valuable version.
