- 14. Wikipedia
- 15. Wikipedia The importance of collective intelligence is crucial for humanity. I mean our civilization has come so far, especially in the last century but the last 3 decades have shown astonishing results in how we go about our lives individually and in socially. I mean for us humans to advance we have had to share the knowledge of the things we know so that we work better together and make sure others understand the subjects they are pursuing and/or working in. Wikipedia is the largest source of collective intelligence in the modern world. I have been a user for over ten years now and I have used it many times and still do today for informational purposes. Before Wikipedia one would have had to go to a library and read books on certain subjects of their interest or attend school to learn the things they are trying to learn. With wikipedia the descriptions and definitions posted on the site might not always be 100% accurate because they are posted and edited by it’s users but, that is why the site has moderators that can review and edit anything that might not be true. For the most part with all the contributors and users of the site, the information tends to be pretty spot on and trustworthy but mainly for subjects that are already tried and tested to be true because of their past existence and evolution.

In addition to storing the files, one can also share them with colleagues and friends, all using dropbox. You can store documents, pictures, videos and presentations in dropbox. The best part about it for me has been that I can access important files I’ve uploaded to my dropbox account from any computer or mobile device. I use it mainly to share files between colleagues.

Music projects created on musician computers get automatically backed up every time the producer makes a save. All audio file dependencies are also being backed up. All saves are privately available to the creator via a timeline representation online. At any moment in time, producers can reload previously saved versions which load automatically on their computers. Collaborators can be added to any private projects so they can open previous versions and contribute new versions.
- 20. LinkedIn
- 21. LinkedIn LinkedIn is crucially beneficial for networking in the business world. Being a working musician and current student, the tools that the service offers can help me to network and communicate on a broader scale than before. With the “recommendations” colleagues can commend my work and that gives my work professional recognition that can aid in acquiring a new job. “Following” is a great tool that helps me to keep up to date with companies and people that I choose to follow. I find ”Groups” to be a great part about LinkedIn because I can communicate directly with others that I might be involved in a project with, all at once. I think the most important feature of LinkedIn is “Jobs”, because it allows me to look for and find jobs in my field of expertise that are currently hiring, it is way easier than searching in person because I have access to job postings locally or nationally and they are constantly being updated.
- 22. LinkedIn The importance of using a service such as LinkedIn for my professional career is that it will drastically change the way I do all my career networking and the way other colleagues can see me, find out information about me, and to what degree of professionalism I am taken for depending on how my work is commended and reviewed. It will literally help me backup up my professional standing as being taken seriously for my work to the people I am connected with. This will lead to other people interested in networking with me to take me as a professional and allow me to have future advantages for possible work and collaborations with others boosting my career to new highs that were not possible before without a service like LinkedIn. What would be the importance of using a professional network such as LinkedIn for my professional career and how can it boost my professional networking?
