The famous American MIT Media Lab introduces disputable new topic about social networking sites and stresses that “there is always the danger of a “group think” mentality–when people follow a group consensus rather than critically evaluate information; make decisions without guidance from the social network; or follow “gurus” who provide them with bad information.” We think that the “wisdom of the crowd” is leftist and rightist illusion and doubtful concerning the masses, because only the true Artists/Individuals can conceptually, practically and critically evaluate information. Which means the Art of Living is clever using of both hands and the whole mind and thus a privilege just of Media Art. (More at: https://mediavia.files.wordpress.com )
It is very weak possibility that the “Part of the answer may come from recent work of Media Lab researcher Dr. Yaniv Altshuler, an expert in collective intelligence methods, who is working with Toshiba Professor Alex ‘Sandy’ Pentland in the Media Lab’s Human Dynamics research group. Altshuler has developed a tool for social financial trading that helps guide users to make better decisions by improving the information flow within the networks. This is accomplished by diverting the traders’ attention away from certain links, and drawing their attention to others, changing the dynamics of the network.”
