He claims that, in addition to being both common and underappreciated, the modality of sharing is also a modality of production. This modality is sensitive to technology, as well as decentralized, with many individuals taking part in this mode of production. Sharing therefore provides a platform by means of which individuals can optimize not only their own capacity use, but also that of others. An individual's efficacy is limited by physical and capital constraints. This problem is eliminated by allowing several individuals to share in the mode of production. This makes it an attractive modality of production, although somewhat underappreciated.
In Chapter V, the author considers the policy implications of the sharing modality of production. He applies this to the concepts of wireless communications regulation; information, knowledge and cultural production policy; and network design to facilitate shareable...
As an example, the author notes that radio and computer technology has changed to such an extent that they have transformed from capital goods such as radio transmitters and antenna towers and consumer goods such as radio receivers to shareable goods, which the author refers to as "transceivers."
The most affected area in this regard is probably the information and knowledge industries. The current capacity for cooperatively building and sharing information is unprecedented. Via the Internet, collective groups of virtual strangers are able to build information and capacity to such an extent that they are shared by large amounts of people.
In this way, goods are not only utilized to their full capacity by means of sharing, but also improved in ways that would be impossible to do on an individual level. Collective creativity is therefore shared by society as a whole.

Solving the 1D Bin Packing Problem Using a Parallel Genetic Algorithm: A Benchmark Test The past few decades have witnessed the introduction in a wide range of technological innovations that have had an enormous impact on consumers, businesses and governmental agencies. Computer-based applications in particular have been key in facilitating the delivery of a wide range of services and information, and computer processing speeds have consistently increased incrementally. Computer processing speeds,
66). Furthermore, social software will only increase in importance in helping organizations maintain and manage their domains of knowledge and information. When networks are enabled and flourish, their value to all users and to the organization increases as well. That increase in value is typically nonlinear, where some additions yield more than proportionate values to the organization (McCluskey and Korobow, 2009). Some of the key characteristics of social software applications
