I think the past was not predictable when it started.“

“…every sensory-deprived hour spent social networking online is an hour less to savour the thrilling marvel of the living, breathing, pulsating real world.”
Patrick BarkhamWriting in “The Guardian” 16.05.07
SerendipitousLearning
Definition• Have you ever found yourself aimlessly
browsing the web only to stumble across something of value that you weren't actually looking for? This is serendipitous learning:
• It acknowledges the fact that the search for knowledge may occur by chance, or as a by-product of the main task. For example, a search for information may launch the user on a tangent that ends up being more productive than the original search query.
Jim Gritton, GB Learning Consultancy (Futurelab)
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know.“
