Set this in relation to "Too Big to Know" and it is clear why so many people can speak so authoritatively about so many things they know very little about.

If I'm in the Spotify app's UI in Auto, Auto will try to open Google Play Music if I give a voice command to play a specific track or album without specifying an app, and I don't use Google Play Music, which leads to a dead end. That's exceptionally annoying.

However, there is such an obvious conflict of interest in a researcher investigating her own, commercially available (£645 for a set) material, coupled with a complete lack of regard for other key elements of research, such as matched control groups, make this a seriously flawed piece of work.
This example shows why we need an objective assessment over a large sample of learners on the effectiveness of the Global Learning XPRIZE entrants.

Complex economies are those that can weave vast quantities of relevant knowledge together, across large networks of people, to generate a diverse mix of knowledge-intensive products.
This idea of "complexity" could also be a way of comparing different Global Learning XPRIZE teams.

The core problem with our education system isn’t the technology or even the companies. It’s how we deform teaching and learning in the name of accountability in education.
Interesting that the Global Learning XPRIZE aims to measure who learns most.

Cool, eh?
