The document discusses how the widespread availability of knowledge on the internet has changed learning and thinking. It notes that in the past it was easier to be considered smart with modest effort, but now enhanced thinking skills are in demand as everyone can access information. It also reflects on how childhood may have been more innocent and joyful before this shift, and includes a slide defining various aspects of "mental prowess" or thinking abilities.

- 2. In the days before the Internet and Google, both Learning and Thinking were Easy. With a little effort I was able to be amongst the smart ones. Today, with knowledge available 24/7 with just a click, every one is now extremely smart. Better skills are required and every one is clamouring for more thinking skills (read mental prowess). See the next slide which is an extract from Mel Levine’s ‘A Mind at a Time’ (2002) - thinking has become a complex subject! I hope the children and young people out there will not be missing the innocence and joy of my younger days. 12/24/2013 2
