This is cool! It reminds me of the TED talk 'Will our kids be a different species?'. We are totes getting smarter - kids have a grasp of concepts such as metacognitive thinking at a much younger age, and their frame of reference is so much broader. I've written a rant about the future of education based on this new paradigm on my personal blog if you're keen (thecreativefiles.com)
I stopped reading at "we are totes getting smarter".
That's a shame, I totes said smarter things after that! ;) I'm new here, so will try & speak less colloquially if that's the preferred tone.
I enjoyed the post about the future of education. Similar thoughts have crossed my mind (to the point where I have a small side-project going on).
Thanks man! Keep us posted on the side-project, awesome space to be in. If you're on Twitter, I'm @alidrennan.
I think that we have more and more access to information and this makes our brains work better, helps connect more dots and make better decisions.
