For corporations, this movement is very similar to the ‘social media revolution’ we all felt in 2005-2009. Then corporations adopted by launching their own blogs, forums, communities, and Facebook pages. Fast forward today, companies are still institutionalizing social. Hold onto your hats my friends, another movement is happening again, and they’re also using social technologies. Instead of just sharing media and ideas, they’re sharing goods and services, and in many cases, they’re avoiding corporations to get what they need. This is a direct disruption to corporate revenues, as people share products with each other –rather than buy anew. If you’d like to to go deeper, read the full research report, which this story board was based from.

This concept is absurd. My friends don’t barter much less give sustenance good. I don’t borrow anyone’s car online, let alone do so with the reliability or ease of a car rental service.
