In the reading of Wikinomics, it shows the difference mean of “collaboration” in the past and present. For instance, in the past people view the word “collaboration’’ as a teams, such as in business people collaborate with coworkers at the office, with partners and teams that traverse departmental and organizational silos.
On the other hand, the author point out the new collaboration that we have in the society and how it affect the people ‘s life style, value and the power of mass collaboration and behaves not as a multinational but as something new. For instance, due to the new change in society, technology and economy, people are living in a new age. The new age includes new form of mass collaboration. Such as the new low cost collaboration, which allow thousands upon thousands of individuals designer and small company to produce products, assess to the markets and delight customers in ways that only large corporation could manage in the past. In other word, the is new collaboration has allow the individuals to share knowledge, computing power, and many other resources to the public. These new collaboration not only serve commercial interests, it share new knowledge, information, and others to the world, change how people and societies think.

The whole idea of collaboration for artists is slow in coming. This ‘new mass collaboration’ is going to slowly change our perception of artists from the ‘solitary creative individual’ to perhaps ‘creative groups of individuals’ depending on each others input. I think the potential is greater this way as, like you said, it will change the way we think.
