Words matter. These are the best Louis B. Rosenberg Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
You have the sense of touch because you need it.
In computers, we do all kinds of manual manipulations. We grab and drag icons. We click on and open windows. We pull down a screen. We stretch a screen. We scroll up and down.
A poll finds the average opinion of a group. It takes the temperature of a crowd. A swarm focuses a group together, in real time, and has them work together as a system to answer a question instead.
A poll will give you the most popular answer but not the answer that optimizes the preference of a group.
Beyond individual intelligence, nature has also cultivated intelligence through swarms. For example, bees, birds and fish act in a more intelligent way when acting together as a swarm, flock or school.
Nature creates natural swarms. UNU uses networking technology and algorithms to take advantage of the knowledge, wisdom, and insights of a large group of people by allowing them to think as one.
The reason that fish form schools, birds form flocks, and bees form swarms is that they are smarter together than they would be apart. They don’t take a vote; they don’t take a poll: they form a system. They are all interactive and make a decision together in real time.

Swarms are one very simple way of keeping ourselves ahead of the machines.
How does nature amplify the intelligence of groups? It forms swarms.
A swarm finds the solution people best agree upon. It optimizes collective support, whereas a poll tells us how we disagree.
If you sit at your desk and reach and grab a cup of coffee, you don’t look directly at the cup, focus on it, and get your fingers lined up before grabbing the coffee. In real life, you reach for a cup that you see out of the corner of your eye, and when you feel it, you know you can grab it.
When a species wants to tap the collective intelligence of a population, they don’t take a poll; they don’t take a vote. They form a real-time system.
