New Tools
The invention and rapid spread of computers, as well as the extremely rapid development of new software, is causing new computer/internet-based tools to arise on a scale measurable in years or months.
- wikis are generally useful for documenting or discussing any complex area of understanding
- Honest Argument allows arguments to be broken down in a hierarchical (tree) view showing how points and sub-points, supporting and contradicting arguments, all relate to each other.
