thinking

The focus on information also emphasizes a shift from the ‘physical to the mental’ and from the ‘doing to the thinking’. Words such as ‘brainpower’, ‘thinking’, ‘the mental edge’, ‘perception’, ‘intellect’, ‘intelligent’, ‘smart’.
One of the significant trends around this shift is the re-emphasis on different ‘ways of knowing’. This shows up in ‘new age’ thinking, a shift to the thoughts of Eastern Philosophy and a renewed attention of the thinking and cultures of the tribal cultures.
When you see these terms used, they may be referring to some aspect of information and a potential overlap with the principle ‘intelligence’.
