it’s called the information age

It’s called the age of the knowledge worker

It’s all those things

AND it’s the age of collaboration

What is crowdsourcing?
What is wikipedia?

It’s all about collaboration

I was running and listening to a song…I heard something sung in the background

“I should look that up. Surely someone has figured this out already”

I COULD have stopped and listened to it myself to figure it out

I still might.

AND I could go ask what other people know about it

I wonder if there is a gender advantage to the age of collaboration?

Are women better at it?

I love what Sal Khan is doing, with his Khan academy because i love learning.

He goes on and on about mastery a the goal.

And yet I am fining in my life that mastery is not as important as I thought. Mastery can take the place of the courage to begin and create.

Mastery comes.

My PMP studies put it this way: Progressively Elaborated.

Isn’t all learning progressively elaborated?

Malcom Gladwell in Outliers talked about the diminishing return of good grades or high IQ. Once you’ve reached the threshold of enough, the rest is a waste of time.

And in fact…Lingering to master my multiplication tables would be the biggest waste of time ever. Experiencing new things and trying a new area would be far more fruitful.
