Collaboration can be incredible! Anyone can have a good idea. The ability to share the idea, receive input, and together realize the goal can have exponentially beneficial results. Most interesting to me are collaborative ideas that result in the greater good.
The capacity of the internet is being harnessed in just this way. gwap presents games that, when played online, improve search engines. Freerice provides education and rice for free. Pick a subject, answer questions, and watch the amount of rice donated increase. These sites are 'win win.' They are good for the player or learner and good for the recipients. Even better they present an opportunity to give for those who are unable to volunteer in person.
Collaboration can contribute to the greater good both in the end result and in the benefits participants experience as they collaborate. Despite chronic pain, we can join in this wonderful phenomenon. Good for others and good for us!
