We are losing common sense in the age of information
IS common sense that common any more?
Common sense is a term that is bandied around in all walks of life. In business, it implies sound and prudent judgement and, indeed, this is the usual dictionary definition.
The term is ancient and the original definition is bound up with the five senses - we see, touch, feel, hear and taste things and form an opinion on them accordingly. In short, we experience something and learn from it. The commonality comes from other people experiencing the same thing and sharing their interpretation.
