Burke foresaw the significance and potential of the coming information revolution [http://youtu.be/0V1hqygO5c4?t=2m13s as early as 1985].
Burke has made his scientific and historical explorations available to the world through the [[http://www.k-web.org/ Knowledge Web Project]], which serves as the online incarnation of his documentary series.
