In the Social Age, knowledge is no longer enough: our value comes in our ability to create meaning. Tools like Google let us find out 'facts', but agile learners use those facts to inform their actions. But how do we do this? How do we make sense of the world around us and use that meaning to take action, to learn? This book, based upon five days of writing in Singapore, is a reflection on learning, knowledge and how we create meaning. It's a personal journey through the subject, based on reflections as diverse as the meaning of the Starbucks logo and the workings of the Singapore docklands. It's a journey of discovery, to discover how we create meaning.
