“…a child that knows will share that knowledge in return for friendship and reciprocity of information, unlike with the ownership of physical things, where they can use force to get what they do not have.

When you “take’ information, the donor doesn’t have to lose it!”

People are naturally curious. We learn by asking questions. Exploring and discovering.

The above quote was taken from an account of an experiment undertaken in a New Delhi slum where street kids were introduced to a computer for the first time. Within six months they had taught themselves almost everything they needed to know. How to use it. How to surf the internet. A resource that has already changed the way we do things.

People are naturally curious. We learn by asking questions. Exploring and discovering and the internet provides us with a means to communicate. A tool with which we can can explore. A resource that has opened doors to opportunities that will add value to whatever we do. Opportunities that can be unlocked simply by sharing our personal experience and know how.

We lose nothing by sharing information and experience. To the contrary there is everything to gain.

The Highlands is a historical region of Scotland. Culturally, the Highlands and the Lowlands diverged from the Late Middle Ages into the modern period, when Lowland Scots language replaced Scottish Gaelic throughout most of the Lowlands. The term is also used for the area north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault, although the exact boundaries are not clearly defined, particularly to the east. The Great Glen divides the Grampian Mountains to the southeast from the Northwest Highlands. The Scottish Gaelic name of A’ Ghàidhealtachd literally means “the place of the Gaels” and traditionally, from a Gaelic-speaking point of view, includes both the Western Isles and the Highlands.

The area is very sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region, and includes the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis. It is renowned for it’s natural beauty and is a popular subject in art.

The Highland Council is the administrative body for much of the Highlands, with its administrative centre at Inverness.  It is the only area in the British Isles to have the taiga biome as it features concentrated populations of Scots pine forest and is the most mountainous part of the United Kingdom.
