In der Menge liegt das Gl\u00fcck<\/strong><\/p>\n

Schon Aristoteles sagte:\u00a0 \u00abDas Ganze ist mehr als die Summe seiner Teile.\u00bb Das gilt auch f\u00fcr grosse Gruppen von Menschen. Denn wenn verschiedene Meinungen und Talente zusammenkommen, lassen sich viele Herausforderungen besser und schneller bew\u00e4ltigen. Koordiniert man diesen schier unersch\u00f6pflichen Pool von \u00abMitarbeitern\u00bb und Computern, spricht man von Crowd Computing. Die Teilnehmer kennen sich oft nicht und sprechen verschiedene Sprachen. Aber ein gemeinsames Ziel eint sie.
\nSchon heute l\u00e4sst die Nasa mit Crowd Computing fremde Galaxien finden, Google liest mit dieser Methode schwer erkennbare Schriften, und wir an der Universit\u00e4t Z\u00fcrich lassen beispielsweise ganze Artikel in minutenschnelle vom Deutschen ins Englische \u00fcbersetzen \u2013 alles Aufgaben, die den Einzelnen wie auch den Computer oft \u00fcberfordern, aber mit Crowd Computing bew\u00e4ltigt werden k\u00f6nnen. Deshalb gilt zuk\u00fcnftig f\u00fcr viele komplizierte T\u00e4tigkeiten: In der Menge liegt das Gl\u00fcck!<\/p>\n
