This is my first post, so, to start I would like to say that although my project proposal needs to be fixed because what I was proposing was to open and it could not really explain what I wanted to do , it is almost decided that in some point the subject of my research is going to be the "prosumer".
So what the hell is prosumer?
I found it on wikipedia:
Prosumer is a portmanteau formed by contracting either the word professional or producer with the word consumer. The term has taken on multiple conflicting meanings: the business sector sees the prosumer (professional–consumer) as a market segment, whereas economists see the prosumer (producer–consumer) as having greater independence from the mainstream economy. It can also be thought of as converse to the consumer with a passive role, denoting an active role as the individual gets more involved in the process. More recently, in the mental health field, the word "'prosumer'" has come to mean "consumer/provider," also known as a "peer provider," such as a Peer support specialist or other mental health consumer who also provides peer support mental health services.
