Connected Intelligence "Preserver Apps"

Niall Ferguson says, "Here are 6 ‘killer apps’ that set the West apart from the rest: competition, the scientific revolution, property rights, modern medicine, the consumer society, the work ethic. "

Amen!

We have built "killer apps" which enable us to enjoy the level of taste and variety of food, that Louis the IVth had, with his 498 chefs, without having to employ a single chef via restaurants.

As I,Pencil instructed us, "The configuration of creative human energies—millions of tiny know-hows configurating naturally and spontaneously in response to human necessity and
desire and in the absence of any human masterminding."


These "killer apps", enable us to drown in information, but has left us starving for knowledge.

In our pursuit of "the process intelligence", we have created a chasm between practice and process.

While last century was about "Killer Apps", this century has to be about "Preserver Apps". Otherwise, the dent that we created in the ecosystem in the process of our conquest, would destroy us eventually.

Connected Intelligence attempts to fix this: by having "Preserver Apps" that connect the Process Intelligence with the Practice, not merely people with other people and the technium.

While there are countless spheres to start connecting intelligence, we could start with Education 2.0 and Management 2.0.

With Connected Intelligence, Learning would be about understanding and not about merely hoarding facts and Management would be about amplifying talent and not merely aggregating talent.
