Critical Review of Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age. In his 2005 article Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age, Siemens outlined a new way of thinking about learning based on the recent advances in information technology.

The Half-Life of Facts: Dissecting the Predictable Patterns of How Knowledge Grows. By Maria Popova “No one learns something new and then holds it entirely independent of what they already know.
We incorporate it into the little edifice of personal knowledge that we have been creating in our minds our entire lives.” Concerns about the usefulness of knowledge and the challenges of information overload predate contemporary anxieties by decades, centuries, if not millennia. In The Half-life of Facts: Why Everything We Know Has an Expiration Date (public library) — which gave us this fantastic illustration of how the Gutenberg press embodied combinatorial creativity — Samuel Arbesman explores why, in a world in constant flux with information proliferating at overwhelming rates, understanding the underlying patterns of how facts change equips us for better handling the uncertainty around us.
