It is one of the curiosities of our historical era that even as cognitive surplus is becoming a resource we can design around, social sciences are also starting to explain how important our intrinsic motivations are to us, how much we do things because we like to do them rather than because our boss told us to do them, or because we're being paid to do them.
Hal ini merupakan salah satu misteri dalam sejarah kita yang bahkan ketika limpahan kognitif jadi sumber inspirasi kita dalam merancang, ilmu sosial juga mulai mampu menjelaskan betapa pentingnya motivasi alami kita bagi diri kita berapa banyak kita lakukan sesuatu hanya karena kita suka bukan karena diperintah atasan atau karena kita dibayar
