In an age where information is boundless, a critical question echoes: Is knowledge a universal right, or a privilege reserved for the few?
The digital revolution promised a world of open access, yet we grapple with escalating educational costs, a persistent digital divide, and the profound influence of commercial platforms shaping what we see and learn.
