Wednesday September 10, 2008 CRD 704 - Reading 4
Class assignment:=============================================================
\Choose 4 chapters to read from Educating the Net Generation
- The Horizon Report (2008)
QUESTION: why do we consider "the kind of knowledge and understanding that emerges from large groups of people" (Horizon Report, 2008) collective "intelligence"? Isn't "intelligence" a relative judgment ?
I'll bet the majority of citizens of 1666 Salem, Massachusetts thought they were pretty intelligent to burn witches!
It's a fine line between intelligence and stupidity -- and there is no true judge of it -- yet the difference is often aided by historical perspective.
