Crowdsourcing Wisdom

”Too few people realize that the Internet is still in its infancy”- Sir Tim Berners-Lee

Best Predictions about the Future of the Internet?

Wearable computing (which is obviously already emerging)

Ubiquitous global Internet connection Internet of Things Full-immersion virtual reality

Other directions?

The Internet is a network of interconnected computers exchanging data

What do we know

about Data?

Seems like we are slowly and steadily working our way towards wisdom.

But first, a very basic question; Is the quality of information really such a big deal?

Umm.. Yup! Guess it is!

We know how to do awesome and epic web design. Check.

We know how to do easy to use click-to-call and call-to-action buttons. Check.

We have a ton of customer service, support-team, chat, and loads of other widgets. Check.

But..

One widget seems to be missing..

Where is the Crowd Wisdom widget?

With a Crowd Wisdom Widget we could accomplish amazing things!

All web pages, e-stores, businesses, governmental insitutions, non-profits, all of them, all plans and all business- investment- ”all” decisions could benefit from Crowd Wisdom

So..

Where IS the Crowd Wisdom widget?

Maybe we don´t have a Crowd Wisdom widget because when everyone is speaking at the same time, it becomes too

complicated?

How many Jellybeans are there in the jar?

When asked, some give estimates that are waaay to big, some give estimates that are waaay to small. BUT! If enough of people are asked, all the answers multiplied and divided by the number of answers

Incredibly!that leads to the..

Could we take the Jellybeans example and apply it to a crowd so that we get Wisdom as the end product?

Things that you can do with a simple

Drag & Drop GridHumans process visual representations really fast!

Grab one, and slide it in the place that it belongs to in your mind.

And..

We get numerical values for complex information analysis

Worlds first Crowd Wisdom widget

concept design

Example:

Place all the teams from the FIFA World Cup in the grid.

Ask a few thousand experts to arrange the grid.

What do we get?

We get the beans in the jar effect!

We get Crowd Wisdom!

concept design

Give enough experts the same scrambeled grid, and ask them to organize it without the help of anybody else.

We get objective numerical valuesWith enough expert answers, we actually DO get a Crowd Wisdom widget.

And..

We CAN calculate (multiple) answers

Worlds first Crowd Wisdom widget

concept design

We can actually process really complex information, like what impact does Uber and Zipcar have on urban planning by 2020?

If the grid needs imput, just make oneAnd the next expert is presented with the grid that has your input in there as well.

There can be an unlimited number of adds, because very soon the Big Fish start to emerge.

Democracy = one vote, Free Markets = one purchase BUT Crowd Wisdom = numerical values for the entire grid.

A Great American President?

(Arrange the grid, please.)

AND, we can ask WHY !This allows emergence from complex systems in an entirely new way.

Why is he a Great American President?

Emergence from complex systems, means that the whole is actually more then the sum of its individual parts.

For really cool information processing, change the initial question.

How..Why..When..With the help of..Combine this with..Investments from..Who would be interested to help..To achieve perfection..

And again go to the next Meta-level, by using the very same Drag-and-Drop Grid.

Ask;

Which ARE the important questions (and why)

Worlds first Crowd Wisdom widget

concept design

With Crowd Wisdom (and the emergance from that complex system) we are able to combine and analyze things that were impossible to combine and analyze before. We can produce products and services, experiences of products and services, that were impossible to produce before. We can find out about teams and team collaborations and co-operations in ways that were impossible before. In short, we can invest time, money or effort to get results and returns unimaginable before.

1. Drag & Drop Grid. Check.2. Add your own content. Check.3. Re-evalute and/ or change the original question. Check.4. Add question. Check.5. Add personal profile. Check.

6.Categorize topics within that personal profile.. Check.

Add Timeline,thenadd a growing expertise Timeline by categorizied topics in the personal profile.

Add Paradigm Shift(s) within personal catgorized topics.

There you have it, a worlds first concept design of a Crowd Wisdom widget.

What does right information at the right time at the right place mean? It means; ”it´s right for you”

How BIG can a simple Drag-&-Drop Crowd Wisdom widget eventually become?

Can Google be better?Crawling through web pages can not produce the right information at the right place at the right time.Crowd Wisdom as a system base, Can!

To get the right information to the right person at the right time and at the right place?= We must have the information (it can´t be shared if there isn´t any content) Check.= We must have profiles (it´s just scrambeled noise without profiles) Check.= We must have a Categorized Timeline. Check.= AND we must have the emergance of a complex information analysis. Check.

Crowd Wisdom CAN be used to make Google better

There is a concept that when computers are fast enough, and enough computers are online, a singularity (an AI) will emerge.

WHY?

All the grains of sand in all the beaches of the world, why would they form in to a pyramid, by themselves?

But! Adding multiple personal profiles and timelines, you get something amazing = by a simulation (or emergance) of intelligence that surpasses all the individual parts, is the same as simulating intelligence. A successfull simulation of intelligence IS intelligence.

In short, the Crowd Wisdom widget can be used by Google to create a converstation automaton with emergant intelligence A.K.A. AI

Cheers Mate!
