Andi Bell explains the `link method` memory technique

If natural thinking is based in what we know, in our memory, wikiknowledge is based on virtual hiperinterconectedmemory.

This is very much how the web actually works. Nothing new if we consider is the same method we have been using to think since we got to the Homo Sapiens. The wikiworld is nothing but an extension (of astronomical proportions) of this linking process. Therefore mere storage of information does not constitute by itself any kind of memory; amount of data is not important rather how it is connected and moreover how do we access to it. Knowing now means to know the appropriate gate, whether is a search engine, a blog, a youtube video or even a facebook profile.
