The state of technology today yields itself to more efficient means of sharing, storing, and organizing information through use of the Internet. The Connexions project, developed in 1999 by C. Sidney Burrus and Richard Baraniuk of Rice University, is one such innovative forum for collecting, organizing, and sharing educational data. The use of textbooks has become an inefficient, outdated means of distributing information due to the long process of publication combined with the constant state of evolution of human knowledge. Though articles and books remain valuable as learning tools, the additional benefit of electronics, computer technology, and Internet allows for a continual updating process for information to be current.
