Bubbling Up

Forbes points to the next bubble about to burst.

A side note on the e-research program. James Bowman points out in Is stupid making us Google,

"as an elementary school principal told Bauerlein, proceed as follows when they are assigned a research project: “go to Google, type keywords, download three relevant sites, cut and paste passages into a new document, add transitions of their own, print it up, and turn it in.”

    Also, that little snippet is the most interesting thing I've read on the Flynn Effect -> we are learning how to take IQ tests together as a society.

    Data, data everywhere and no one knows a thing, eh?
