4. The power of networks “As knowledge becomes networked, the smartest person in the room isn’t the person standing at the front lecturing us, and isn’t [even] the collective wisdom of those in the room. The smartest person in the room is the room itself: the network that joins the people and ideas in the room, and connects to those outside of it. Our task is to learn how to build smart rooms — that is, how to build networks that make us smarter. ” [AND STRONGER] David Weinberger internet specialist, (Clue Train Manifesto)
