We-Think might have a big impact on our economy in the future as it has improved the economy of developing countries such as China and India. "In 10 years from 1995, Chinese motorcycle production grew from 5 million to 15 million a year. By 2007, the Chinese industry accounted for half of global motorcycle production." (p136) The potential for collaborative approaches also change other sectors: manufacturing, public services and research.
Goldcorp Inc, spent $500,000 in prize to open a challenge to see whether the global community can locate goldmine which research had not thought of. The challenge attracted 1400 participants, many of whom are geologists, physicists, system specialists...28 of the winner had identified drilling sites. Using example of Goldcorp Inc, the author argue his way to prove open source of working can be applied to basic industries.
How We-Think affects public services? The author argued that libraries are model public institutions.They become more dispersed in a sense that library users would store more contents on their computers; thus make borrowing book much easier as books are digital and people allowed others to access their public material.
Open access also impact scientific research: data is organized and fully exploited if it is fully open to researchers. "Open access increases the impact of scientific research by speeding up the cycle and widening its reach: open access versions of articles tend to be cited by other reseachers on average 50% more than the same version in a subscription journal. Reseach spreads more quickly to more researchers who can then test the finding reported in a paper and develop new hypothesis."(p157)
