Humans without works of massive collaboration have nothing to set them and other earthly primates apart. Every single feat of wonder, whether it be an engineering or architectural accomplishment, in the ancient and modern world alike has been the conception of work forces of thousands upon hundreds-of-thousands of people. Every day millions of potential workers log on to the internet to spend time on one or many of the limitless social-media outlets, such as Facebook or Tumblr, spending time that could be used towards the next big thing. Massive online collaboration is a call to the information age and its generation of humans; a call to do a greater good for humanity as a whole.
