I am fascinated by this term "crowdsourcing" coined by Jeff Howe.
A community is no longer about being in a single location at the same time. The virtual world is making it possible for people with common interests to come together, to partner, to collaborate without every meeting - changing business as usual.
Mr. Howe uses the example of stock photography in his you tube video. He examples how stock photography, once an expensive rare commodity, has become abundant and cheap and can be done by amateurs.
Is this idea of crowdsourcing going to mean we no longer get hired by a company, sit at a desk, and work our 9 to 5 p.m. jobs?
Will careers be virtual, an open call?
Honestly, I'm a little nervous about this concept.
Will we lose face-to-face communication and in person communities altogether?
