And large corporations can keep employees on the same page without putting them in the same room. People with questions can find online and off-line experts over the Web and get help with a variety of problems, from personal issues to cooking advice to technical support.

Schools and companies are creating increasingly sophisticated online learning experiences that capitalize on the evolving power of broadband technologies and the Internet, and that are also entertaining and informative. The possibilities are endless.
