Abstract

Importance of Collaboration: Practical and Scientific We live in an increasingly interconnected world. In reflection of this trend, the field of human-computer interaction has shifted focus from individuals to teams and large organizations [35]. From a scientific perspective, we learn most about the object of study during transitions. Thus, a learning test is generally more diagnostic of brain function than a test of stored knowledge; a glucose tolerance test tells us more than a resting blood sugar level; a stress test reveals more about the heart than does resting heart rate. Similarly, this century’s rapid transitions should allow us to learn a great deal about collective human behavior. At the same time, we face enormous planetary problems including global fouling of the ecosphere, inequity in economic opportunity, increased chances for catastrophic disease, and international terrorism. These problems arose with current approaches and limitations to collaboration and will only be solved via breakthroughs in collaboration.
