Re: The biggest problem with Google brain is it kills creativity
It is in the end up to all who are "consumers" to decide--but the creators have to make sure that they understand their audience and do their best to anticipate.   That's the key. 

Onward to August w/all its' possibilities  :)

Internet living up to its potential
The very fact that companies have to establish rules for healthy internet use proves that companies are the reason consumers have this problem because consumers didn't create the internet.


Set rules for Internet use: A good set of rules should include things like the amount of time kids are allowed to be online, what types of content are appropriate and whom it's okay to chat with, as well as proper online conduct and good Internet citizenship.

Balance time online: Model a healthy balance between your online and offline activities.

Distinguish between fact and opinion: Teach your family how the Internet works, and encourage critical thinking. Train them to use a variety of online resources and to always check, question and verify what they see online.

Keep personal facts private: Ensure that you understand the risks involved in making private or personal information public online. Discuss and evaluate online relationships as you would any other relationship in your life.

Case predicted that we would either learn to put healthy limits on our use of the Internet, or we would not survive as a society. Since it is my business to connect people to the Internet, I am hopeful that we apply a healthy, responsible and measured approach to its use and realize the incredible benefits that it promises.

Re: The biggest problem with Google brain is it kills creativity
Saying, "The problems we are experiencing with the Internet are our fault. We have become enamored with our ability to connect; we have become obsessed as a society. Putting boundaries in place can help correct the problem."

is a statement I totally disagree with. Consumer did not create email, social media, the internet, VOD, OTT, texting, and other technologies that distract people from their daily activities, companies created this using the lame excuse that it would enrich our lives because our lives were so lousy before technology. Know we are starting to see the research that all this technology usage has side-effects and some have long-term effects.

Advertising and marketing has made consumer believe they need this technology and need to stay connected when they don't. People lived their live just fine without this technology.

Re: The biggest problem with Google brain is it kills creativity
I think the internet  has gone beyond its potential. I believe we are using it appropriately. But then, who defines what is appropriate.

It is up to the user and n how they use the internet to determine if it provides benefit to them.

If someone is looking for a fact about a topic and only use wikipedia or a blog without doing additional research from credible sources, is that the fault of the internet or the user. It is the user's fault because the internet provides credible and non-credible sources.

Re: The biggest problem with Google brain is it kills creativity
What would you deem to be an 'Effective" Use of the internet?    It is a struggle at times for my current start-up @DailyOutsider and curious to see what your thoughts are on it.

The first to fix and to transform is to realize the problem--the question is how to solve it.   Recommendations?

Re: The biggest problem with Google brain is it kills creativity
mpouraryan,

Granted immediately that the internet can and should be an equalizer on information access, it's of limited aid if people can't effectively use the information they're accessing. And pasting it in undigested (often unread) chunks is not "using" it for anything other than the exchange-for-points that the "content" mentality leads directly to.

Re: The biggest problem with Google brain is it kills creativity
mhhf1ve,

It's not so much that people are more educated as that they are differently educated, and that more of it comes in a school structure. And the process is hitting its limits:

http://www.informationweek.com/mobile/mobile-devices/as-iqs-fall-can-gamification-help/d/d-id/1109936?

The trouble is, we appear to be building a magic library in which the genies can instantly fetch you any book, open to the right page, but fewer and fewer people know enough to ask a proper question or understand the answer. And the defenders of the internet's corrosion of the mind keep telling us how many books there are and how fast the genies fly.
