There's a reason I've chosen 'in numbers lies strength' as the blog's subtitle, for it refers to a couple of things. First, the 'numbers' can mean people - because of the HBC, we all are a part of a world-wide computer. Then it can also mean the numerical data gathered from human-computer interaction. Last but not least, it's the endless possibilities we can bring to life.
Regarding the last part, I cannot foresee what the future will hold, but I predict that crowd-sourcing and human-based computation will bring many advancements to the civilization - hey, we use it already to everyone's advantage, and that's before we have absolute knowledge on how a human mind works like. Because the growth in the study is exponential, given enough time we'll unlock it sooner or later, possibly through the help of HBC. And because we're 'teaching' computers to think like humans, maybe we'll be able to finally create a fully autonomous artificial intelligence? :)
Human-based computation brings limitless possibilities. The more the merrier!
