The New Sharing Economy

Unread postby Ludi » Sat 09 Oct 2010, 13:47:40

"The results of Latitude Research and Shareable Magazine's The New Sharing Economy study released today indicate that online sharing does indeed seem to encourage people to share offline resources such as cars and bikes, largely because they are learning to trust each other online. And they're not just sharing to save money - an equal number of people say they share to make the world a better place."

So far I haven't had any problems with consensus in my household, but then we just have the two people, so I'm sure that makes it easier.

I suppose my wife would be cool with sharing. She grew up with many siblings, where sharing was de Rigueur. Me (an only child), not so much. I'm good with trading, and to-each-his-own sort of things, but I share like a junkyard dog. :twisted:
