What connects sharing parenting advice, running a football club, banking or finding a place to stay in a foreign city? The power of the crowd. Ivo Gormley’s film, Us Now, demonstrates how mass collaboration online is changing the way we organise our lives and relate to other people. Networks and communities, which were once based on face-to-face relationships, have exploded in size thanks to the ability to connect to vast numbers of people through the web. It suggests that the web is allowing the small-scale patterns of trust and recommendation that we all rely on, to reproduce themselves on a massive scale. The examples of this 21st-century phenomenon in action make clear to even the most technophobic, how online networks could benefit them.

His film shows how networks such as Zopa, a bank where people lend and borrow money from each other; Ebbsfleet United, where supporters manage the football club they funded online; and Mumsnet, a forum for mothers to exchange tips, advice and support, have changed people's lives and how they relate to each other. Ultimately the question becomes: what now for government when the people have the ability to make connections and to share ideas in a way unprecedented in history.
