Speculative human hive mind[edit]

See also: Eusociality in humans

Articles on several websites[4] have discussed the possibility of a human hive mind made possible by evolution and/or technology. This could vary from of humans potentially evolving into a superorganism like a beehive,[1] to a form more similar to science fiction such as technology allowing humans to instantly share thoughts.[3]

As a metaphor for human society[edit]

Main articles: Collective consciousness and Collective intelligence

Human society in agregate is sometimes compared to a hive mind.[5] While it is generally used colloquially (such as for crowdsourcing information from social media sites),[5] the sociological term collective conciousness is sometimes used interchangably with "group mind".[6]

Woodbridge[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Historians disagree over the etymology of Woodbridge. The Dictionary of British Placenames suggests that it is a combination of the Old English wudu (wood) and brycg (bridge).[7] However in the Suton Hoo Societies' magazine Saxon points out that is no suitable site for a bridge at Woodbridge, or any fordable sites until Wilford, the site of the current bridge, several miles up stream.[8] It also raises that an Anglo-Saxon bridge being wooden would have been unlikely to be worthy of comment.[8] It suggests that it might instead have been a combination of odde (a cognate of the old scandiavian oddi meaning promonatory or cape) and breg (from the Anglo-Saxon brego meaning king - note the closeness of Sutton Hoo) or more likely bryg (a cognate of the Norwegian brygge or quay).[8]

The Suffolk Travler suggests a similar origin to The Dictionary but originating from a bridge over a hollow way that leads from Woodbridge Market Place to the Ipswitch.[9] But this is desputed by Rev. Thomas Carthew, then perpetual curate of Woodrbidge who points out that the bridge had existed for less than a hundred years at that point and therefore was not old enough to be the source of the name.[10] He instead suggests Oden or Woden (Odin) and Burgh, Bury, or Brigg (town).[10] The Topographical Dictionary of England suggests a combination of Woden and Bryge.[11]
