Cognitive Surplus

 I saw a 'TED' speech about Cognitive Surplus. In modern society, a couch potato is not only consumption of leisure time because computer and internet have propagated rapidly. We can spend our leisure time by using the computer and internet. But people have not only egoistic mind but also have altruistic mind. So they produce something and share that with others. And the 'something' is cognitive surplus.

 Everyone has talent and time to spare. I think cognitive surplus was made to talent, time to spare and technology. (Technology means development like an internet.) If so, cognitive surplus exist to me! I have three factors of cognitive surplus. For example, I can treat photoshop program of Adobe. And if I made Peter professor's introduction poster, that would be a cognitive surplus like a lol cat picture.

 Many people create value with cognitive surplus, but I think it is very small parts of internet users. There are small in number of positive created value in comparison with internet users. How can we promote people who have talent, time to spare, and technology to produce cognitive surplus?
