Is Mass Collaboration real or a myth?

Is Mass Collaboration a myth?

The internet has put us into this false notion that everything is being globally collaborated. People think that the internet has super modified collective intelligence. Moreover, it is believed that humans are allowed to increase mass level collaboration.

Mass collaboration is superficial

It is commonly believed that internet has produced mass collaboration. Many successful internet projects are considered a product of mass collaboration. However, if you look deeply, you will realise that this is a superficial phenomena. The examples we look up to are either not collaborative on the microscopic level, or are rare exceptions to the rule.

Why Collaboration is difficult?

To collaborate for something means to work together to achieve something common. However, several people having a common goal is very rare. Even if we put only three co-founders of a company together it will be difficult to develop common goals. This is because every company or person have individual ideas to put forward. When you find it difficult to make two or three people towards something common, then how can mass collaboration be made successful?

Collaboration is an art!

Good teamwork can lead towards an artistic form of collaboration. Teamwork is fascinating but very difficult to attain in fields like PHP development. There is always a risk factor for teamwork to fall apart at the hands of any one team member in mass collaboration.

Like mindedness is the key!

Finding like-minded people for collaboration is one thing the internet helped us, but it takes So. Much. More. Than. That. We’re still pretty bad at agreeing on goals, learning how other people like to work, and adapting to that in a productive manner. And the internet is not going to change that. Not at small scale, and especially not at mass scale.
