Changing How We Think

Collins and Halverson (2009) states on page 10 that the Knowledge Revolution is drive by a new set of computer tools that empower people's minds rather than their bodies. John Seely Brown argues that " Tools drive science,not theory, not experiments, it's the tools. And it is this that has made the computer such an incredible force for scientific innovation. These new tools are reshaping the nature of work from a reliance on physical labor to cultivating the intellectual ability of ordinary people to interact with sophisticated symbol systems.
