Diderot's Encyclopedie vs. Wikipedia


I did some flicking through Diderot's encyclopedie. I compared articles with wikipedia. Wikipedia was far more in depth than Diderot, however the base observations were the same.
I read a blog by Kristina Cummins that showed the innovation of algorithms. One commenter exclaimed how amazing it was that something so simple was not created sooner.
My point for the day is that innovation happens with one simple observation after another. It just depends what century it comes in.
