I know a certain 3 year-old who uses a similar trick to collect knowledge about the world. Not being sarcastic here; orgs can learn a lot from young children about how to acquire new skills and make decisions in the face of uncertainty.
Before they can even walk infants learn to judge whether they're about to crawl off a cliff -- a skill the yahoo board (for example) could have really used.
- Bartweiss 10y agoIt's an excellent technique for learning unfamiliar domains (which is almost everything, for a 3 year old). If you don't have a strong framework to fit new data into, ask "why?" a bunch of times and people will hand you relevant pieces of that framework.
- ZeroGravitas 10y agoActually... Babies learn to crawl, then learn to not crawl off cliffs. Then they learn to walk, then they learn to not walk of cliffs. So there is a point after they won't crawl off a high drop, that they will just walk off it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WanGt1G6ScA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WanGt1G6ScA
