Think about a colony of army ants. One ant isnt very smart, but thousands of them are connected and comminucate through chemical scents. The colony as a group behaves in a very smart way, it decides when its time to nest and where, when to move on, where to go etc.
In the same way, could a network of interconnected humans be smarter than one person, or atleast some-what intelligent?
Another example would be a human mind, its made up of billions of simple neurons that send and recieve signals in a simple, logical way.
Infact, just like an ant cant comprehend the intelligence of the colony as a whole, perhaps we are not smart enough to realize the bigger picture.

Ants are "born" knowing everything they will ever know. Humans are born blank, and then it stays blank for most. We might form a hive-mind but it will be about as smart as a rock -- not that I want to put down rocks - some of my best friends are rocks. ;-)

i've looked at a lot of Q's on this site and i dont think the more the smarter!! If you throw 10 ppl in a room and 2 are smart you get 20% intellect, on the web you've got 1000 smarties and 1miliion dumbasses...= less than 1% intellect!!! not a good figure for the human race!!

Judging by websites like this, interconnected human minds just get dumber.
