Crowd Sourcing

 All I'm saying is I'm using crowd funding for everything now whether it be film making, buying an apartment, surgery, or giant pandas encrusted with diamonds. Anyway on to the more serious stuff.

I really like the concept of crowd sourcing; however, there are a few issues I dislike about it...but I mean that  's everything.

The overall idea of crowd sourcing is quite fascinating, its understandable that this ideaovation really took off with the internet/media fed generation. I believe this is the case simply because crowd sourcing is a child dependent on the importance of participation and community. Its kind of like communism, y'know only the good things, y'know without Stalin, and the KGB.

Crowd sourcing allows for everyone to tack on a significant piece to a larger idea, allowing everyone to feel they have contributed to something important. Now you can just sit at a computer screen and achieve, as Andy Warhol put it, "five minutes of fame".

Now every obscure idea or thought can be documented and compiled, allow more intelligence to be accessed with ease more than ever before.

However, there are two things that I dislike about the whole crowd sourcing secret society.

Although its a pro that people can get a forum to state their ideals and ethics, some will abuse that right. (e.g. hate groups, bigots, trolls and whatnot). Also, now some crowd sourcers (or sorcerers) will unintentionally undermine crowd sourcing projects due to failure to check facts. Relying on old wives tales and rumors.

And of course, there is the fear of the dreaded information overload. Basically way too much info bombarding viewers and basically driving human senses crazy.

But in the end, crowd sourcing is pretty much the way of the world today. Individual creation is even stronger when it thrives off of togetherness.
