Wanna be a kid again?

I found a fascinating article today. It's titled "Infants Have 'Mind-reading' Capability" from Science Daily.

The title caught my mind for the simple fact that as adults we spend so much time trying to gain knowledge and pick on other people's brain for our own self interest. We have these sophisticated concepts and learning tools; strategies to ensure people share their knowledge with as efficiently as possible, yet it's sooooo complicated do so...

Meanwhile, "3-month-old infants are able to exhibit the ability to attribute mental content." WTF?? They are able to communicate so naturally. They rely on instincts to express themselves and share what's on their mind. In so many ways their knowledge transfer process is so much simpler and more efficient than ours...Maybe we should get back to simpler things and become babies again!

Anyhow, below is the link to the article. Just a note of caution however, the statements made in the article are not necessarily scientifically proven...

Viusal Wikis

We've had very passionate discussions about wikis throughout this semester. So I thought it would be interesting to discuss it here as well.

Below is a video I found on Youtube, dealing with Google's view and use of the Visual Wiki. A Visual Wiki's aim is to help users visualize information and knowledge, in addition to using common Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 collaborative tools (Wikis in this case). It deals with the ability of an organization to visualize and organize knowledge in various rich scenarios.

The video is is quite interesting, although long as it runs for 30 minutes. So I invite you all to get your pop corn ready, sit back, relax, and enjoy ! You will not be disappointed.
