In “Rainbows End” Vernor Vinge explores the idea of using the Internet to allow 100K plus people to all work on a project at the same time. That level of leverage and focus also produces synergy and allows the solution of problems that used to be too hard or require to much exploration of the subject matter.

We certainly need to be expanding the knowledge domain and real problems and real material to work with always is better than rote examples. This could also provide one way around the dilema where Modern Economies Need Manufacturing to maintain knowledge discovery but most of them are divesting it.

Now I would really like to think of a way to leverage this sort of connectiveness to create better products.
