With the advent of newer, more advanced technologies, Astronomers are running into an unusual problem--too much data to go through themselves.Their solutions has been to put it up online and let people (amateur, everyday people) help them out. I think it connects well to Shirky and Remix. Sure puts a whole new spin on "social science".

Thank you, Diana! This is very interesting! It is funny that part of their advice to parents is "Surf the web together with your child - there's a lot your child can teach you." I was expecting it to say something about parents teaching kids to proper ways to surf. LOL
