“Experience has long been considered the best teacher of knowledge. Since we cannot experience everything, other people’s experiences, and hence other people, become the surrogate for knowledge. ‘I store my knowledge in my friends’ is an axiom for collecting knowledge through collecting people (undated).”

  This is an interesting point that supports the idea of allowing students to use their cell phones and other digital devices to retrieve information needed for a test. In that case, the questions the teacher asks can no longer be simple recall of facts (unless being able to acquire information is the goal). Instead, teachers will need to ask their students to dig deeper (i.e. Bloom's taxonomy). This will be a difficult transition for teachers to accept.
