Comments on: Brothers Brick: “Have the Internet and Blogging Improved LEGO Creativity?” http://www.brickpile.com/2006/09/26/internet-and-blogging/ Building a brighter tomorrow with LEGO® bricks Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:58:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: David http://www.brickpile.com/2006/09/26/internet-and-blogging/#comment-3392 David Fri, 12 Jan 2007 01:41:23 +0000 http://www.brickpile.com/2006/09/26/internet-and-blogging/#comment-3392 There isn't a fragment of doubt in my mind that overall, people are more productive when they have a group of like minded others to encourage them. It's fundamental. The Internet has only amplified that effect. In the past we certainly had pockets of determined individuals who could make amazing things in a vacuum but now the Internet catalyzes this activity in a signifcant way. Problem solving becomes a group effort. Techniques and tips can be shared across the globe. One negative of the Internet might be an homogenization of ideas overall and the damping of duplicate efforts which sometimes produces advances. However, overall I think it's positives far outweigh these negatives. - David There isn’t a fragment of doubt in my mind that overall, people are more productive when they have a group of like minded others to encourage them.
