Creativity & Grouplearning

This is more about learning to express yourself in Internet; multimedia, home-pages and such stuff. My favorite :)
Group-Learning means that there is no teacher - everyone tells the others what (s)he knows and thus the common knowledge increases radically. Every individual learns a lot.
Think that you and 7 other guys are stranded on an uninhabited island. The first day you all decide that everyone is teaching all the others what he knows and is able to do. Everyone seems to have a different history and a different occupation. There is no Fridays, but eight Robinsons. Within a few year everyone knows much about *everything* - knowledge that is not taught in schools. That is what group-learning is all about.
Warning; If you try to do this in the civilized world and stop people on the street and tell that we should learn from each other, they will call the police - and you end up in a Funny-Farm.
Coming 2015.

RSA Animate - Re-Imagining Work
How can we get people more engaged, more productive, and happier at work?
Is technology part of the problem -- and could it also be part of the solution?
Dave Coplin, Chief Envisioning Officer at Microsoft, imagines what might be possible if more organisations embraced the full, empowering potential of technology and encouraged a truly open, collaborative and flexible working culture.
The RSA is a 258 year-old charity devoted to creating social progress and spreading world-changing ideas. For more information about our research, RSA Animates, free events programme and 27,000 strong Fellowship.

Will Work For Free | OFFICIAL RELEASE | 2013
What's the biggest threat to humanity you can think of?
Pollution, disease, natural disasters, terrorism, crime, drugs...?
But do we ever think about our basic life support needs?
We usually don't have to because luckily for us we have a system. It's a system where you can gain employment and work for money which of course provides access to food, water and shelter. And it's a good thing we have this system because without money you're as good as dead.
But if you don't have a job you don't need to worry because again we have a system. If you're out of work for whatever reason simply apply for government aid. All the people with jobs pay taxes and since the government understands that a certain level of unemployment as to some degree is to be expected, it simply relocates some of that tax money and hands over to those without jobs through a magical process called redistribution. It makes you wonder, if this is the solution for unemployment than where is the threshold? What level of unemployment is sustainable and what would happen if all these jobs suddenly disappear?
