Wow Khan! That is an impressive list 
Some things I didn’t see on your list (sorry if I missed them, I skim read and have saved the entire list for perusal and experimentation at a later date) were picnik.com and Google docs. Picnik is an online photo editing service with some cool effects and things to add to your pictures, it is a lot of fun to play with. Google Docs is something I have started using more recently, and I am finding it really useful so far. We are writing our latest S.P.L.I.C.E. script in it and it is a simple but effective way to collaborate as a group even if we can’t be together all at the same time or place.
I am curious, because you obviously seem quite experienced with computers (again, impressive list!) do you find you are able to use some technology almost intuitively? That question goes out to all of you actually.
I have noticed that, based on what I assume is our familiarity with technology from an early age, most teens are able to quickly get a handle on how to use many online resources where many adults will have a harder time with it. I was told an interesting analogy about how using technology: childeren are "digital natives", but adults are travellers in a foreign country.
I think the lack of a “knack” for technology may be one of the things putting some teachers off, because it can be much harder for them to get a handle on, as they haven’t grown up with it.

Thanks for asking the question. Well I think we always love to think about finding new innovative ideas for developing software. Whenever I got an idea, I searched in google with relevant terms and I found almost every time there is a solution exist in this world! We have to be real innovative to create something new. Its a lot challenging now comparing to old days. On the other hand its a lot easier than the year 2020! 
Problems exist such as Machine Translation and Robotics. Who knows by 2020 all these will possible. That's why I wonder what's next after 2050? How those days will be?

Thanks Khan for your amazing list  You must have spent a lot of time & effort on it. But if only you could classify those links into categories like resource for foreign languages, for IT, etc, that would be great
I myself am a bit lazy to browse too many sites at the same time, so for online study, I usually go visit http://about.com/ They have amazing resources for almost everything And I love OCW courses of MIT.

Hello Khan!
I had a great time exploring all your free educational resources that you posted and I realized that I'm also using some of it since then:
Tool to make calls from my computer? Skype
Wiki tool? PBwiki
Encyclopedia, which I can add to or edit? Wikipedia
Community dedicated to collaborative development of free content? WikiEducator
Mindmapping tool? FreeMind
Game to understand variable manipulations for urban management? SimCity
Repository of how everything works? HowStuffWorks
Tool to explore the World? Google Earth
but what attracted to me most is this:
Cisco Educational Archive and Resources Catalog(http://sunsite.unc.edu/cisco/edu-arch.html)
It helps me a lot in understanding the sophisticated world of Cisco, but the website that you provided, leads me to cisco's main website: http://www.cisco.com...
Now i'm exploring moodle...

hello khan!
i'm not that much familiar with cisco network. I only knew about Cisco modems 605/675/678... with a little info. Maybe only around 5% knowhow. I am curious about how it is being configured using like the cmd, and many says that it is so hard to configure. That's why my interest with Cisco begun to sprout. thank you for providing me the link, i'll explore it...
