Explain Biological Interrelationships

second Digression: swarm intelligence

"phenomenon, wherein communication within a social community of intelligent behaviors of all individuals [...] up."

This definition is found in wikipedia.de under "collective intelligence," commonly referred to as swarm intelligence. In the animal world we find this phenomenon in Ants, bees, termites, and fish. Core characteristics of a swarm are flexibility, dynamics and time-limit. The individuals state-forming animals act as independent as possible. Are you in the fulfillment of collective tasks, however, very focused.
result for the individual three principles of action:
  • Move up toward the central point of those who are in your environment.
  • Move you away if someone gets too close.
  • Move up in the general direction of your neighbors.
Since 2000 the concept of swarm intelligence in social and future research will be applied to humans. The Internet allows for collective intelligence necessary media structure. Ants communicate via pheromones, bees about the waggle dance and the man on the Internet.
A negative example for the self-organization of the swarm when people are terrorists. You work for a common cause, and each individual for themselves sometimes for years as independent as possible and the swarm of internal and external communication via the Internet.

Other examples of collective intelligence, Google and Wikipedia are; Wikipedia as a free encyclopedia on the Internet, especially so, since contributions can be created at any time or from any review.

Prof. Wippermann, Founder of the trendy offices in Hamburg, describes in an interview with the online magazine "The Present" possible consequences of swarm intelligence are formed themed, object-oriented schools - also known as communities. Personal communication is losing value. To engage in a club or a party is no longer attractive because of the purpose limitation. Using swarm intelligence can achieve personal goals more quickly, the Community objectives into the background. This is just one scenario. The full interview with Prof. Wippermann be found at http://www.diegegenwart.de/ausgabe44/wippermann.htm

The majority is smarter than the individual. This Cunning results from different countries of origin and areas of competence. A striking example is the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." In public surveys, the hit rate is 91% and the Jokers of the telephone, in which a man is consulted, who seemingly familiar with a topic is only 65%.
The individual is dependent on feedback, so-called social proof. At this point we have reached the purpose of trend portal and many blogs - the opinion of the clever fishing majority.

I have treated the issue as a digression, since it will have far-reaching consequences than a "traditional" socio-cultural trend. I'm looking forward to your views on topic.

Greetings from Ludwigsburg!
