  1. Rebooting the Concept of Culture for the Brave New World • The specific learnednorms based on attitudes, values, and beliefs shared among a global society that, when taken together, constitute a design for living worldwide. • The integration pattern of human thought and behavior that includes perspectives, ideals, communications, actions, and attitudes of a social group that challenges, rejects, and transcends boundaries. • The Notion of Culture as a Cognitive Evolution • Learned norms, while shaped early in life, are questioned and evolve due to expanding choice brought by expanding connectivity • Universality of Latency • Then/G2: Cognito, ergo sum • Now/G3: Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum

  2. Traditional theory has assumed intellectual ability to be stable throughout the lifespan; IQ scores taken at one point in time can be used to predict educational achievement and occupational matches in adulthood. • The new study, published in the journal Nature, shows for the first time that IQ is not constant. • Change in IQ score was related to change in the density of grey matter. • “The question is, if our brain structure can change throughout our adult lives, can our IQ also change?” • “My guess is yes. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that our brains can adapt and their structure changes, even in adulthood.”

  3. A relatively new field, called interpersonal neurobiology, draws its vigor from one of the great discoveries of our era: the brain is constantly rewiring itself based on daily life. • Processes of neuroplasticity • In the end what we pay the most attention to defines us. • .

  4. Data raises the possibility that using online social networks might change the grey matter of our brains. • More “friends,” more brain change • “Online social networks are massively influential, yet we understand very little about the impact they have on our brains.” • Question is, “what are the effects of social networks, and online social networks in particular, on my brain.” • Because of the brain’s neuroplasticity, web use rewires people to be more adept at perfunctory multitasking, but diminishes the ability to sustain focus and think interpretatively

  5. A new study suggests the use of digital media may actually help teens reach developmental milestones, such as fostering a sense of belonging and sharing problems. • “What they’re doing is different from generations of teenagers from before the digital era, but it comes from the same place of basic developmental needs. It’s just that they’re using different tools to satisfy these needs,”
