The document discusses the role of human computation and citizen science in managing large datasets generated faster than they can be analyzed, emphasizing the strengths of humans in spatial cognition, pattern recognition, and creative thinking. It highlights various projects like Fold.it, Eyewire, and Crowd2Map that utilize crowdsourcing for scientific breakthroughs and local knowledge mapping. The document also provides resources and opportunities for involvement in citizen science initiatives.
