Emergence of Self Awareness Using Shared Knowledge

Abstract

Because of the progress of Internet and search engine represented by Google, the value of idea is increasing instead of the value of knowledge. Mind Maps are the famous and useful method to support imagination and association. However, to make the Mind Maps by oneself causes the partial knowledge and idea. From this viewpoint, we have proposed the idea generation support system by using the shared knowledge made by the colleagues who have same background and Google Suggest. To investigate the effectiveness of shared knowledge and Google Suggest on the idea generation, we performed a couple of experiments. As a result, the performance by using the proposed system with shared knowledge was superior to others, and also the subjects tend to prefer the proposed system with shared knowledge.
