GlobalLab New generation of social networking
CROWDSOURCING DATA SOURCING CITIZEN SCIENCE
The excitement of simply being connected is being replaced by a new generation of social networking activities – people doing something together out of civic responsibility or scientific curiosity

GlobalLab Citizen science involves millions
According to IBM, “A whole class of citizen scientists will emerge using simple sensors that already exist to create massive datasets for research”
GlobalLab anticipated this development over ten years ago
