You have to give toast though to Net entities like Wikipedia, I'd dare say one of humankind's greatest achievements. Then eventually over a few years it'll be available as a plug-in, as a virtual trepan thus reducing the effort of subsuming all that. And then maybe structural intelligence add-ins so that abstract concepts need not be learned by "medieval" rote conditioning. These humanity features are not far off. So instead of a $35 laptop a fifty cent liqua chip could be injected as a prole inoculation/augmentation.

Such education would be far harder to come by and less effective without the Net. That's world-changing... ;-) ... The Net saves time. Back in the day, one could spend a lifetime sifting through paper in the library, or traveling the world to meet "authorities". Now you do some googling, realize that no one has a clue, & go on to do some real work on your own. That's if you have the guts, of course. intelligence-as-a-cognitive-algorithm <http://ntelligence-as-a-cognitive-algorithm> agi | <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now> Archives <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/> | <https://www.listbox.com/member/?&;> Modify Your Subscription <http://www.listbox.com> ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
