In other words, when it comes to collective intelligence, the whole has the potential to be smarter than the sum of its parts, but in practice it is usually dumber." to quote http://tinyurl.com/yd68nx2 Collective intelligence is also linear. If one person can do a specific job in 1 hr, two people will take 2 hrs, three people will take 3 hrs, four people will take 4 hrs, etc. Seriously, that is true in some situations. I worked with a guy that had a flourishing trucking business going in California and mush of his work was hauling fill to some large earth filled dam they were building, I think as a backup for the L.A. water supply system. In any event he sold up and came overseas to work. I asked him why and he said, "do you know how long it takes a truck driver to have a cup of coffee and a slice of pie? He explained that the last part of the haul was up a mountain so after dumping the load the truckers would roll down the hill and stop at a strategically located coffee shop. Truck #1 would drop his load and stop for coffee and about the time he was finishing the coffee truck #2 would arrive, and before they finished their coffee truck #3 would arrive and before you know it an hour and a half had gone by :-) -- Cheers, John B. |
