The collaborative production of knowledge is the simultaneous action of many people who try to combine their ideas to make a new one. In fact “collaborative” is the process where two or more people work together toward a common goal and they don’t required leadership. An easy example may be a group of students that work together to make an essay. Instead, “knowledge” is everything that one people has acquired through experience or education.
In the past
In the past everything new was registered under the copyright mark. If someone needed to use it, they should have to pay to see and use it. This was an important limit for the world innovation. Also, the access to knowledge was very: if someone had need of information, he would have gone to a library or bought newspapers or watched TV. But the most important difference is that information was only unidirectional. An example of “unidirectional information” is TV because many people can watch it but nobody can replay or ask something and the information is only one-way: from TV to audiences.
Present
In the last few years, the traditional collaboration of some individuals in meeting rooms or in conference has been passed by the global collaboration where “Traditional collaboration” may be represented by people sitting on a round table speaking (for example) about how to invent a new clean energy, and “Global collaboration” may be represented by people sitting in front of their computers who are speaking about the same argument through a webcam and who live in different countries
Future
The Internet has changed people's lives. Now the knowledge is everywhere, is free and everyone can create something new and immediately release it for free to the web population of the entire world.
Now the information may also be bidirectional. If you go to the web site of the CNN for watching a video about the principal facts of the day, if you don’t understand something there is the email for asking clarifications and there is also a blog where you can put your opinion.
Another fundamental difference from the past is that today masses of people can participate in economy like never before only connecting their computer to the internet: with the collaboration of the other person we can create encyclopaedias (I.E. ), operating systems (I.E.Linux), books and many others intellectual products.
Another very important idea is that in the past only the big companies were able to have a research and development sector because it was too expensive. Now also little and medium industries may solve their problems or their development ideas releasing them on the internet and asking the internet population to find a solution (I.E. BMW Developing Sector).

Edward Tompson, (3 March 1956 in Sydney, Australia), usually known as Eddie Tompson, was an Australian global investment tycoon and was one of the most influential men in Australia in the 1980s. He was a major shareholder of BHP Billiton Limited Public (LSE: BLT, NYSE: BHP, ASX: BHP), JSE: BIBLT.
Early life
Edward Tompson was born in Sydney, Australia to Irish immigrant parents. Edward attended Sydney Boys High School and the Horace Mann School in New York City. He enrolled in an Economics Degree from the University of Sydney, but subsequently went onto complete a Finance degree from Harvard University and graduated in 1979.
Career
Beginning with stockmarket mining purchases in his native Australia, Tompson expanded BHP into the largest mining company in the world.
According to the 1998 Forbes 400, Tompson was the 5th wealthiest Australian, with a 1998 personal net worth of AUD$2.26 billion.
During 2007-2008, Tompson's wealth was reduced due to his major stockholdings in Centro Properties Group (ASX:CNP). Centro's shares fell on the Australian Sharemarket from a mid-year 2007 trading high of over $10.00, to AUD$0.17cents in the space of 3 months, a drop of over 88%.
This was estimated to have reduced Tompson's wealth to the region of AUD$1.21 billion in late 2007.
Private Life
Tompson has two children with his Australian ex-wife. He resided in Sydney, Australia and St. George's, Bermuda.

The Jimmy C is a musician from Melbourne, also known as The Jimmy C.
History
Jamie Coghill (mild mannered drummer for The Devilrock Four) records solo under the name The Jimmy C.
James Alistair Coghill was born on the 2nd of June 1977 in Yackandandah (home of the best Neenish Tart in the universe), Victoria, Australia. Some time around 1990 Jamie decided that he wanted to play drums. He had lessons at Beechworth High School for a year then gave them up in favor of playing along to Creedence, Deep Purple & Led Zeppelin tapes in his bedroom.
In 1992 Jamie's family relocated to Albury. "Los Bastardos" (1994) and "Incubus" (1995) were Jamie's first official bands playing mostly grunge covers with a enough originals to avoid being classed a cover band. They played only a few pub and university gigs. After graduating High School in 1996 Jamie & fellow band member Alex Ling moved to Melbourne. Here Jamie met Shannon Smiley and joined "Just" with Adam Green and Joel Sprake. They learned 4 songs and entered the National Campus Band Competition representing RMIT. To their surprise they won both their local heat and the Victorian final. "Just" were flown to Canberra and lost the final unfairly to "78 Saab" (the Canberra entry). "Just" produced an EP with prize money from the competition and were given distribution through Mushroom Distribution. "Just"'s sound was mostly indie/shoegazer rock with some very heavy moments.
At the same time as "Just", Jamie was asked to fill in on drums with "Luxedo". "Luxedo" at the time consisted of Tom Carlyon, Mike Conolan, Emily Martin and High School friend Alex Ling. Clashes between "Luxedo" and "Just" forced Jamie to join "Luxedo" full time. "Just" had settled for being an 'Arthouse' band (only playing at the Arthouse on Elisabeth St) but "Luxedo" were playing international supports (RL Burnside), Big Day Out festivals and TV appearances (ABC's Recovery and channel 10's Ground Zero) with their adjusted line-up which excluded Alex and Mike and added Dan Brodie on bass. "Luxedo" recorded 2 albums: "Beauty Queen" (released on CD & Vinyl through Corduroy) and "You Really Suck" - engineered by Tony Coen (Nick Cave/Beasts Of Bourbon) and produced by Charlie Owen.
In 1999 "Luxedo" embarked on an east coast tour with "Six Foot Hick" and "Fez Perez". Jamie was slowly growing unhappy with the Attitude of "Luxedo" and spent much of the tour hanging out with "Fez Perez". Jamie was kicked out of "Luxedo" for not taking drugs and quickly joined "Fez Perez" (Stu Banko, Mick Beard & Matt Healey). "Fez Perez"'s reputation grew quickly and soon they were playing international supports (El Vez, Southern Culture on The Skids, Supersuckers, The Reverend Horton Heat, Royal Crown Revue) and music festivals like Offshore, the Falls and the Big Day Out. "Fez Perez" recorded 2 EPs "Show Me Who's Boss" and "Starring: Fez Perez". Tension between the band and their management drove Jamie to quit in 2003.
After a short period of bandlessness, Jamie met Carl Treasure, Jonny Driver and Stu Walsh who were looking for a drummer. They formed The Devilrock Four (a name chosen by Jamie). Jimi Richardson quickly replaced Walsh and the band recorded their debut album "First In Line". Several songs have appeared on TV shows (Big Brother, Canal Road, Guerilla Gardeners) they toured England and Spain in 2008 and signed with German Management InDevent and Unconform records in 2009. The Devilrock Four continue to play nationally and internationally and are set to record a new album. "http://www.myspace.com/thedevilrockfour">

Since the late 90's Jamie had been writing and demoing his own music. Only very rarely did his songs make it into the bands he was playing in. As an outlet for his own song writing Jamie began to learn and record songs, playing all the instruments and singing. In 2005 Jamie had a collection of songs that he deemed worthy and "Project E.G.O" was released (50 copies distributed free to friends). It received positive feedback and convinced Jamie that this was something he should continue doing. Another independently produced album "The Jimmy C" was completed in 2006 and again given away free to friends. Between November 2007 and August 2009 Jamie worked on weekends and during lunch breaks (Jamie maintains a day job as a graphic artist which is a constant hinderance to his music) to record "Hyde & Seek" the fake 60's movie soundtrack and "Glamour & Fame" - his first album to have a full manufacture of 500 copies. "Glamour & Fame" will be available after the 18th of September 2009. A new collection of demos is slowly growing into another album but with the birth of Jamie's son Harvey on the 13th of May this year he thinks the recording process may slow down a little in the short term.
