Crowd Accelerated Innovation is exciting news. I remember seeing so many videos online of children doing athletic and musical skills a surprisingly high level. When I view videos such as the "child dancer video", it makes me think of my own level of skills at that age. I have always believed that the Internet is going to help evolve humanity in some way, shape or form. I’ve always imagined that the vast supply of information on the web would somehow connect us in a way that was never possible before. This is why when I watched this video I was completely blown away because the speaker and I shared the same perspective.
Innovators have always been the centerpiece for advancements in creativity. I’m not surprised to see them at the top of the list. Commentators provide the essential feedback for the innovators. When you log into YouTube, or Amazon, one of the most helpful tools to assist new buyers is reading reviewer and comments. The majority of us base our decisions on likes and dislikes, and comments of others. Trend spotters are actively searching for new trends, and they feel compelled to spread the work rapidly. Skeptics also play a huge role in the advancements of humanity. People who constantly search for the failures and solutions to problems often find them. It is valuable feedback for everyone when there is room full of corrective criticism.
I believe that the innovators benefit the most because they are able to reanalyze themselves and improve along the way. Cheerleaders matter because they spread the word together or separately, and they don't mind looking good doing it. Everyone starts to cheer when the cheerleaders are leading the way. The Mavericks are the ones who take the next step. They are making all the remakes, and sharing the initial idea, with there own creative spin. Then we have our Super Spreaders who creates viral trends. These elements add speed to our own evolutionary curve. It will be interested to see how the web video powers continue spread global innovation.
