Thank you for the response. The concepts of learning and knowledge (in terms of machine-based learning and knowledge) are indeed interesting. However, history reminds us that those that couldn't question 'what they know' were left far behind others who continuously question 'what they know.' I am waiting for the day when the machines will be sufficiently sophisticated to question and re-program their own logic based on 'sensing' unstructured, non-routine patterns and data that are not accounted for in their original logic. This could be a very interesting future to watch: when the machines may move far ahead in 'sense' and 'sensibility' than humans.

My current interest is in business model innovation, specifically that is related to breakthrough opportunities and challenges that have not been programmed into the existing logic of machinery or programmed logic of existing knowledge. What may seem illogical or irrational or unreasonable from the perspective of existing knowledge may in fact result in the most unprecedented transitions in the forthcoming future. The logic (or should I say illogic) of the Net based phenomena provides some interesting perspective of the future that couldn't be computed despite the raw horsepower of machinery and capital at the disposal of yesterday's blue-chips and luminaries.
