More connections less solutions?

Newswise Social and Behavioral Sciences News | The Downside of a Good Idea: "When information is freely shared, good ideas can stunt innovation by distracting others from pursuing even better ideas, according to Indiana University cognitive scientist Robert Goldstone."

Very H806 relevant article. Too much connectivity has its drawbacks... this study suggests that information overload as a result of a connected economy could stifle creativity and that smaller can be better.

Thought-provoking and worth returning to.
