Zero Newassigment magasin is promoting some extracts from the 50 interviews that they conducted around CrowdSourcing. I’m proud to announce that one of them is extracted from the interview that I had with Andrea LaPorte last Week. Here is an extract of it :
“Thinking of the potential of crowdsoucing, Lionel David founder of Crowdspirit, believes having new means to communicate will spur on more co-develpment and collaboration towards the invention of new consumer electronics: “I think crowdsourcing or more co-development in our case is definitively not a “transitory” phenomenon. The basis of this trend was identified many decades ago by researchers like Eric Von Hippel. The word crowdsourcing could be “transitory,” but the trend itself is on its way. [Wired Contributing Editor] Jeff Howe was clearly visionary by inventing this word and by raising it to the public at the perfect time to market. What is more important is the fact that, thanks to the internet, we finally have the means to communicate to the masses, in order to really engage that new industrial revolution which was predicted a long time ago. It’s now just a question of time before we see the deep impact that it will have in our society. Moreover, we can look at the macro-economical aspect of this revolution. In the last century, several nations tried various economic systems like capitalism and communism. In this century, crowdsourcing could be seen as a new way of thinking for our future society.”
Best regards
Lionel DAVID, CrowdSpirit Founder
