aloofschipperke discovered 9 months ago- An insightful look at a transition from the information age to the expertise age.

- Very true. This author talks about what I would call Trivial Learnings (that's a minor addition to a common system of knowledge) and Systemic Enhancements (what the author noted as a paradigm shift, where new systemic tools are installed into your understanding/worldview.) While the notion of long-distance education is still maturing, and the semantic web is still being built I'd have to say we're definitely still in the information age. Perhaps what's next will be another age of enlightenment or a dark age, it's really our choice. Billions need to catch up to participate in what will become our biggest challenge as Homo Sapiens to date.

- If we are out of the Information age, I'd say we are moving to the age of Marketing and Leadership. First we have so much information that the value is in packaging it in meaningful ways (Marketing). Second, the decline in U.S. involvement in research is indicative of the high value placed on the ability to provide "purpose" to an organization (Leadership). I didn't initially agree with Andy and Tim that the Expertise or Intuition age was replacing the Information age. But, on further review, my explanation turned out closer to theirs than I expected.
