regroupe des enseignants du lire écrire penser. Ils ont nommé ce que nous pratiquons tous quotidiennement sur le web: “nouvelles lectures”. Alors que les évènements dans le monde se succèdent plus vite que jamais, la presse papier est désormais très largement dépassée par les informations véhiculées sur internet. Le Web a de plus en plus de lecteurs. Mais ces lecteurs ont ils une lecture fructueuse?

Clay Shirky, author of Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age, eminds us: "In the history of print, we got erotic novels 100 years before we got scientific journals, and complaints about distraction have been rampant; no less a beneficiary of the printing press than Martin Luther complained, 'The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no measure of limit to this fever for writing.'"

Thus whether we are simply in a transition stage with the Internet in which we will eventually weed out the more frivolous content (or at least find a proper place for it) is left to be seen, but history would indicate that there is a distinct possibility that we will self-regulate for the better good.

Gardner also contends that creativity can be cultivated in groups. Thus the ability to work collaboratively may palliate a lack of individual creativity.
