Describe a problem that could be solved through crowdsourcing. Identify the problem, and describe the steps you could take to solve it, noting what Information Age technologies would help you do so.

Answer:

Loosely defined, crowdsourcing is a term used to describe using an open contest or crowd of people, all contributing to solve a problem or get something done.  The term was coined by Jeff Howe in Wired Magazine in 2006, and was officially added to the Oxford Dictionary just last year in its June 2013 update.

The premise (and promise) or crowdsourcing is that it allows organizations to solicit the ‘wisdom of the crowd’ by connecting to a large number of people who share a common goal, all at once.

A long history

Although the term is new, the concept has its roots in history.  In 1714, the British government needed a solution to what they called “The longitude Problem”.  This navigational challenge, if solved, could save the lives of potentially thousands of sailors per year who perished at sea.  The British government offered £20,000 (about $5 million in today’s money) to anyone who could invent a solution to this seemingly unsolvable problem.  John Harrison, the son of a carpenter won the prize by inventing an accurate, vacuum-sealed watch.   This early crowdsourcing experiment is a prime example of the concept that innovation and invention can come from anywhere, even from people outside of the industry.

There is an endless list of modern examples of crowdsourcing, even making the basis for complete business models, such as with Wikipedia.  Crowdsourcing has also invaded pop culture, with television shows such as American Idol and dozens of other crowd-powered events making use of the concept.

One problem that could be solved through crowdsourcing is social commerce. The steps Social commerce can practice is to integrate people, often bringing tools like social media into the development and creative process. For instance, a company may host a poll to measure which product prototype is favoured among consumers.

Crowdsourcing is the practice of turning to a body of people to obtain needed knowledge, goods or services. The term crowdsourcing is a combination of crowds and outsourcing and was coined in 2006 by Wired magazine author Jeff Howe in his article The Rise of Crowdsourcing.

As the term implies, crowdsourcing is when an entity whether an individual or an organization requests specific resources from a group of people. Businesses, individuals and organizations of all kinds have used this process to solicit ideas and raise money as well as consolidate and promote information. These entities leverage the internet, social media and purpose-built platforms to elicit and receive the knowledge, goods or services they're seeking.

This allows them to engage with a broader spectrum of sources.
