The Power of Crowdsourcing

There is a famous old saying that when trying to solve a problem “two heads are better than one” Yet until recently, businesses would often rely on one key person to get important tasks done But thanks to a phenomenon called crowdsourcing, more and more companies are allowing their consumers to have their say when designing new products

The term “crowdsourcing” refers to the process of outsourcing jobs which were once done

by a

single person to a large group (or a crowd) of people In the past, crowdsourcing wasn’t practical, as it was impossible to gather thousands of like-minded people together to share opinions Now, thanks to the Internet, online forums, and social media, this isn’t a difficult task at all

There are many important applications for crowdsourcing in business For example, if a small

business was looking to develop a business logo, it might employ a single designer and hope for the best However, with crowdsourcing, companies can specify some guidelines about their project, set a budget, and start a design contest online Within hours, it will likely receive hundreds of designers sending them logos

In the end, they can choose the design they like best and the winner will get compensated Crowdsourcing has other applications as well A website called Duolingo is using crowdsourcing to translate documents into different languages It offers free lessons to language learners As part of their tests, users translate lines to test their knowledge Then, a computer programme will analyze thousands of test results for consistency and arrange an accurate translation

Not everyone is sold on crowdsourcing, though In many cases, it may be better to rely on the

opinion of a few specialized professionals than information from a crowd For instance, it makes more sense to trust the opinion of one top doctor than to take the advice of 1,000 random people regarding a health issue Another criticism is the low wage that crowdworkers usually receive Since crowdworkers are freelancers and not employees, they can be paid less than minimum wage Whether you love or hate crowdsourcing, it appears to

be here to stay So before you make any financial judgements, consider following the crowd and give crowdsourcing a try

26: The old saying “two heads are better than one” in paragraph 1 means that

A two people can work more carefully than one person working alone

B two heads are more expensive than one

C two people can achieve more than one person working alone

D two heads are paid better than one

27: One of the advantages of using crowdsourcing is

A we can get the best answer to our solution with the unbelievably small budget

B within a relatively short period of time, we can get so many answers to a single problem

C the company no longer hire employees to solve problems

D hospitals can practically apply the method of crowdsourcing in consulting patients 28: Which of the following is NOT a good situation to use crowdsourcing?

A A company needs to get ideas for a new sneaker

B A business is looking to understand why people like its products

C A student is looking for ideas on where to stay on holiday

D A person needs to understand a law for an important court case

29: According to the passage, why didn’t businesses use crowdsourcing in the past?

A It was too hard to collect and check lots of people’s ideas

B People weren’t as smart as they are today

C It was usually illegal in most countries to do this

D No one had ever thought of the idea of crowdsourcing before

30: Which of the following sentences is true?
