I must admit I did quite a few skimming through some of the chapters because it was just getting way too redundant! I wasn't really surprised to see the same concept of how great collective intelligence is in the online world rephrased for the last time in the book's afterword and conclusion.
The only difference I see between each chapter is that the author just uses a different example just to support the same idea over and over again. And like someone had mentioned in class, the reader most probably would've been able to understand what the author was trying to say in just one paragraph for each chapter. Yes, the whole the book could have been summarized in just one chapter.
The only thing I learned pretty much is that there are some CRAZY fans out there that will do anything to get their hands on almost any type of information. Jenkins did more than a good job with his supportive examples to express his thoughts on that.
