Crowdsourcing.com‚ CrowdFlower‚ or Amazon’s Mechanical Turk where people around the globe go to find work. Daniel Maloney‚ an AOL executive‚ recently turned to crowdsourcing for help inventorying AOL’s vast video library. (Note: This definition of crowdsourcing differs from the one used in Chapter 5 to describe crowdsourcing as a way to spur innovation). He broke the large job into micro-tasks and described the tasks that he needed to be done on Mechanical Turk. In particular‚ each worker was asked

field I have chosen is Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical engineering is a very broad field; mechanical engineers have the opportunity to work in a wide spectrum of fields. Some mechanical engineers can work for a company testing and improving upon their products. Mechanical engineers love to take things apart and to find out how they work. This being the basis for mechanical engineering it gives a mechanical engineer many options so you won’t ever be bored. Mechanical Engineers rely heavily on Mathematics

My will to become an aerospace engineer comes indirectly from my father. Not that he is an aerospace engineer himself but because he gave me the love of space. Indeed‚ my father is a formal civil engineer and he spent a big part of his engineer’s career to build runways for airports. He used to take me with him on his workplaces when during my childhood. There were many planes taking off and that fascinated me. later‚ when I was eleven years old‚ he took me with him in a small plane to show me how
