The Synthesizing Mind

Do we know that knowledge was imparted to man-kind through the origins of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden? Yes, that's right! Knowledge worth of information was transferred to man-kind when Adam was enticed to take a bite of the fruit from the tree of knowledge.For generations knowledge accumulated,shared slowly, and in smaller chunks so that it can be translated and interpreted. According to Gardner (2009), the "5 Minds for the future" play an essential role in transforming massive knowledge gained through information through data systems,intelligence, and trying to synthesize the information gives one the idea of looking at the big picture. The challenge is that how can one learn how to digest this information through the brain and allow this information to stay? It's rather impossible to have that much allowable space in the brain to maintain information. Yes, the information can be store in smaller chunks but is this something that leadership want to introduce in the classroom? However to master this challenge, requires a disciplined mind with constant practice. It is doable through synthesizing mind too.
