		<description>My entry for the 6 word competition:

Homo contextus expands brain size virtually.

Explanation:

Contextus = latin, connected or weaved together
Context = Circumstances in which an event occurs

One explanation of Homo sapiens is the larger physical brain size and other physical differences compared to earlier Homo&#039;s, including Homo erectus. Current form implies abilities of human beings to complete advanced tasks with advanced tools like abstract thinking, because of the increased capabilities of the neural network to operate such tools.

Our brain size has a physical limit for growth according to various researchers. I propose Homo contextus will overcome this limitation through distributed cognition mediated by the intersection of electricity, speed of light and virtual communities. Technology-enhanced learning leads to global mindsphere, turning schools into obsolete facilities for centralized control. Homo contextus has no need for centralization in a decentralized world where both people thoughts and objects exist in the fingertips. Contextual services exist to link those who want to learn with those who want to teach. For the first time in human history we have the ability to escape the limitations of human communication.</description>
