Collective Intelligence

Collective intelligence is a shared or group intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals. Collective intelligence appears in a wide variety of forms of consensus decision making in bacteria, animals, humans, and computer networks. With that said I do believe that, with the help of computers and or robots, human beings can achieve a new degree of intelligence. My biggest argument for this is Wikipedia. Millions of pages of information entered and updated to be current be human beings. Thousands of people a day visit Wikipedia everyday to find information on a subject. About the same amount of people use forums to find and request help.
