The term 'crowdsourcing' refers to the practice of obtaining ideas, services, or content by soliciting contributions from a large number of people, typically via the internet. In technology development, this approach leverages the collective intelligence of the public to solve problems, generate innovative solutions, or enhance projects. Crowdsourcing can lead to diverse perspectives and creative outcomes while reducing costs and development time. It creates a collaborative environment where individuals can contribute their expertise, experience, and resources.
