Digital Libraries Societies Collective Memory

Writen by Lance Winslow

Human IQ in the modern carbon bi-pod brain is an interesting study. Indeed, it is failry obvious that we are not all created equal despite our very similar DNA. As modern humans all races are less that .5% different, yet we notice a big difference in IQ throughout the world. But even the IQ experts cannot agree on how to pin-point IQ or even which mile marker and theory to use.

Have you ever noticed that those people with the best memories tend to learn the fastest? If not you surely have noticed that they appear to be smarter when talking with them. Does someone who has a lot of facts in their head appear to us to be more intelligent? That in its self should be a complete sign of intelligence, as many have not been exposed to such information and therefore did not take in its equivalent. The reason we seem to equate the intelligence of an individual to memory may actually be more correct than we think, as they have more to draw upon in reasoning and use the knowledge to help them reason.

Does this mean that the faithful servant side of the brain is to be fully developed so it can assist in the learning? Probably and it is a definite advantage to which few could disagree. This advantage in the individual can also be corresponded to the whole. Fore large groups of varying observation, knowledge and insight working seamlessly together have a far better range of information to come up with the best possible solution to a given problem.

By using knowledge and experience this way we can leverage this to prevent failure through understanding results. Those who do not learn from their mistakes, tend to keep from making them. Those who remember the lessons learned from their mistakes successes tend to reason better thru analyzing of their mistakes and trying to figure a way around their problems.

Now then, let me tell you why a society needs digital libraries hooked to all civilizations for faster advancement of the human species as a whole or as one. If you had a problem that needed solving for the betterment of your civilization and you had all the world's knowledge at your finger tips; that is to say a computer hooked to a system like a World Wide Digital Library, then you would have enhanced your personal knowledge and memory by a million fold. This could help your intelligent quotient at the speed of computer and that coupled with the speed of thought is a major component needed to take mankind to the singularity of an all-knowing, never ending being in this dimension. I would like you to think on that for a bit.
