Jay Cross gets it. "Our era could well be called The Age of Networks," he writes (long time OLDaily readers will know that I declared the start of the Network Age to have begun in April, 2002). "Humanity is awakening to the realization that everything's connected. If something's not a node, it's a connection. Each of us is enmeshed in social, communications, information, and neural networks." Cross traces some of the implications of this in learning: "Learning enables us to enjoy relationships and knowledge. Learning involves exploring new ground, making discoveries, and clearing paths that let us go deeper. To learn is to optimize one's networks." Exactly. Now we can begin to move forward.
