Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing ultimately seems like a great concept that is helping a lot of people.  Without crowdsourcing we would not have access to the insanely useful and informative wikipedia.  Crowdfunding has also provided a great route for independent fillmmakers as well as artists from all of the world to be able to achieve their goals and dreams.  Collaboration through the internet is bringing people together that would otherwise be kept apart.  The cloud filmmaking was a great example of how crowdsourcing is serving to reach out to people in numerous ways.  As more people gain access to the internet this has the opportunity to revolutionize the way many of us work and create.  There are still many cons to crowdsourcing as well and it runs the risk of oversaturation and leeches.  Hopefully through time as people increase their collaborations the kinks will be worked out of this amazing system.
