It used to be that the person with the biggest head full of facts was the smartest in the room, but now we have iPhones with access to wikipedia, google and the rest of the web.
Now, knowledge is a commodity, and that same person that was smartest person in the room is matched by a smartphone.
Knowledge of facts, figures and stats is wasted brain space when compared to the ability to quickly and efficiently search and find that same information. More often than not, we won’t know something, and no person can store the amount of factual information that the web can.
Wisdom is still unrivaled by technology because wisdom is acquired over years of experience and insight.
In today’s world and the world of tomorrow, the success stories will be less and less about those that have acquired specific knowledge than it is about those that can find anything about anyone or anything if given the chance to access the web.
