By far one of my favorite outcomes of network participation is collective intelligence. The joint collaboration of individuals, one which the emergence of media platforms has blown up, the level of communication and far spread of individuals is insane.
Hall brought forth the notion of “decentralised authority”, that the advancements of our technology now allows “large groups of individuals to connect directly, make decisions, collaborate and share value amongst themselves,” something I find to be quite incredible.
Just take into consideration the platform Reddit where participation of individuals is a key purpose of the site, relying on user based discussion and voting for its content. The users are just everyday people throwing their two cents in with no middleman.
You can imagine how well this works in uncover dirty dets that is often hidden behind centralised platforms. The mass collaboration has the ability to uncover two sides of story, something I find incredible.
