As a student of L&D, where does this manner of thinking place the future of the L&D Department? As a former teacher, I would have loved to have students as forward thinking as this article suggests for the present worker. Yet, the more and more I learn about modern corporations, large and small, the dysfunction inherent therein, I wonder if such an idea as free-flowing intelligence will not blow companies to bits. My former students now work in such organizations; I think it would be wishful thinking to believe they have become so independent as to guide their own learning by having the knowledge and understanding to filter analytically the necessary nuggets of truth needed for their specific function or role within the business. I agree with the concept overall but the application I think will prove difficult for: 1. digital immigrants - who will like the idea but be frustrated with the process; 2. digital natives - who will find the process just their speed but many will struggle to distinguish between error and quality advice (Mark Prenskey, 2001) So, maybe L&D will be or should be the leaders of this new movement? Well, this is one digital immigrant who is changing his digital status - digital innovator.
