Crowdsourcing is the process of using many people to perform services. Crowdsourcing explains the saying "many hands make light work" in a new way.

In fact, as students, crowdsourcing can also be a way for you to deal with problems. Suppose your teacher asks you to create a magic story. And you have written a story, but you're not sure whether it's fun or not. What can you do? Just let others around you, your classmates, your parents or someone else, read it and offer their ideas. Then you will collect some wonderful ideas!
What do you think? Is crowdsourcing the way of the future?
