Group Work

Writing is something that those hermits like because it is a loner activity. Scientist no longer work alone in a lab over long hours. They work in teams. The latest example is the Eliminate Dengue has scientist all over the world. They are working in a group and it doesn't always end happily. The team needs to be cooperative and listen. Some scientist get kicked out because they can't hang in a group setting. But, the Dengue team has succeeded.
So, back to my question...Is writing a solititude activity? Movies are written by a team. Pixar picks a team and they write a movie. 'Up' is created by a team. Then they promote the next movie as "from the creators of 'Up' comes a new movie.   Groups are the new thing, schools don't allow kids to sit by themselves, they have to work in groups. Why is this so important in our society? Some books are written by two people, but rarely a team. I wonder if books will be written by teams one day? Worth a thought...
