Digital wisdom is a twofold concept, referring both to wisdom
arising from the use of digital technology to access cognitive

We've ended up with 78 minutes of what could be argued is elearning
content for doctors. Total production time? 11.9 hours. Run the
math and it comes to 9.15 hours' development time per hour of
finished 'seat time,' roughly 9:1. Compare this to high production
value, interactive elearning, which generally takes 200-300 hours
per hour (200:1 to 300:1).
The trouble is that the doctors each spent (in my estimate) 5-10
hours apiece preparing their slides and narrations.

One strand of massive connectionism is currently called social
media. The other strand of massive connectionism relies on a
massive number of machines. This new territory can best be
illustrated by the far-right top extreme where both sides meet in
the center - the area where we have maximum machine connection and
maximum human connection. This overlap or convergence space would
be the emerging global superorganism.
