I actually really enjoyed this reading. The scatter brained nature let it jump around the subject of crowdsourcing. The collaboration factor of current and future works is quite an interesting subject. Not everyone can work on something in a singularity, and it is important for people to understand the influences in a work of art in whatever form it decides to manifest into.
Linear thought is not longer enough when it comes to problem solving. There needs to be a multifaceted approach that utilizes a wide range of input. Shelley Jackson’s style of writing pushes the reader to approach interpretation in an exploratory sense. This creates a requirement of the reader to seek out others and offer a group approach.
“You’re not where you think you are.” Is quite possibly the best quote for describing this article and they whole aesthetic of the topic of non-linear problem solving. Everyone around you is a point of reference, and thusly creates a system of checks and balances. We are able to guide each other to a common goal because of like interests and concerns.
Overall, this is a recognizable trend…and Jackson makes note of that. Non-linear workflow allows for a greater possibility of outcomes, and that is a great thing in terms of moving forward.
