With 500 million people connected to the Internet and the number of global connections increasing by 10% a month there is little question that a digital revolution is occurring. Dr. John H. Ingram, a leading education researcher in the United Kingdom, puts forward the perspective that this shift in human culture is leading to digital intelligence, a new form of human intelligence among the "digitially enriched". Dr. Ingram's book reviews the development of concepts of human intelligence since Plato and Aristotle and puts forward a new brain-based perspective for the existence of digital intelligence. New educational structures and strategies are recommended for the fostering of digital intelligence as well as academic research supporting the model. The book also details an assessment tool developed by Dr. Ingram to measure individuals; groups, families or businesses digital intelligence levels giving rise to a 'digital quotient' or DQ. This book is unique because it is the first book to put forward the concept of digital intelligence. It draws together a range of established and new research, theories and perspectives supporting the idea that the digital age is leading to new brain based intellectual functions. The uniqueness of the book, like those on emotional and spiritual intelligence is a pioneer manuscript, which introduces the idea and will undoubtedly initiate a new debate.Ingram, John H. is the author of 'Digital Intelligence : the Psychology of Comuter Learning and Literacy', published 2000 under ISBN 9780966991222 and ISBN 0966991222.
