Minee ... Knowledge Challenge

Minee ... Knowledge Challenge

In your hands, I put the introduction of this article” Thriving in a World of “Knowledge Half-Life”1 published on the net.

In 1982, futurist and inventor R. Buckminster Fuller estimated that up until 1900, human knowledge doubled approximately every century, but by 1945 it was doubling every 25 years. And by 1982, it was doubling every 12-13 months. In retrospect, this may sound a little quaint since expert now estimate that:

by 2020, human knowledge will double every 12 hours. But the real question is, “How is it making us smarter?”

Don't these estimates shake your mind violently? According to these estimates, will our students still solve scientific problems in the same traditional way they used since the last century?

The last question is also essential, but I will change it to the following form: How will we make ourselves more intelligent in dealing with this informational density?
