The first article, “The Rise of Crowdsourcing”, is about the first beginnings of examples that created and started the action of Crowdsourcing. It also speaks about the different ways that crowdsourcing was put into work in its earliest uses with minor companies. Crowdsourcing seems to be utilized more prominently these days especially with the advance in technology. It seems to be changing our methods of labor on the Internet because now companies are using crowdsourcing for their customers to access their products.
In the second article, Shirky argues “that what looked like a fact about human nature turns out to be merely an artifact of limited 20th century media technologies. Because only a small group of professional writers had access to the technologies of mass publication, it seemed obvious that writing for publication was a job for professionals. And because the rest of us had never participated in the process, it was widely assumed we didn’t want to. We now know that assumption was wrong. Many ordinary people jump at the chance to be producers as well as consumers.” This entire quote is the basic purpose that there doesn’t just have to be a professional who’s a journalist with a degree. But rather than any individual can go ahead and use their own platform to create discussions with others.
In the last article, “The future of Crowdsourcing, Why the crowd is changing and What you can do about it”, it speaks about how the growth of crowdsourcing is changing it’s own future and what can most likely be expected because of it. The article also goes into different steps a person could take to go through their own crowdsourcing experience as well.
