Crowd thinking has replaced most forms of peer research. Most long-established medical and science journals have transitioned - big time -- accepting a new form of instant crowd thinking as the best way to evaluate the new world of hyper-science. On an instant, a researcher can summon a crowd of vetted, quality specialists who have niche knowledge in a rapidly changing field. The result? A further acceleration of knowledge and in the pace of the discovery of new ideas and concepts. The impact? Massive velocity in the development of new technologies, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and forms of treatment, agricultural concepts and methodologies -- every industry and profession has seen a profound shift bigger than the once amazing macro-knowledge burst of the Manhattan project.

Retrospective grade: Somewhat Correct.
Crowd thinking has replaced most forms of peer research. Most long-established medical and science journals have transitioned - big time — accepting a new form of instant crowd thinking as the best way to evaluate the new world of hyper-science. On an instant, a researcher can summon a crowd of vetted, quality specialists who have niche knowledge in a rapidly changing field. The result? A further acceleration of knowledge and in the pace of the discovery of new ideas and concepts. The impact? Massive velocity in the development of new technologies, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and forms of treatment, agricultural concepts and methodologies — every industry and profession has seen a profound shift bigger than the once amazing macro-knowledge burst of the Manhattan project.
