In the 21st century, technological advances and globalization have borne new terms the tools and spaces that differentiate it from the past: the digital era, the sharing economy, collaborative consumption, peer to peer, network society, and so on. Most of these concepts encompass similar features: Information Communication Technologies; Artificial Intelligence for automation; and user-generated, user-centric, platforms.
It is important to focus on the features because certain terms as ‘sharing’ or ‘collaborative’ misguide us. In fact, when using a peer-to-peer (P2P) ride hailing services, short-term rentals, or a crowdfunding platform, there is a fee for that service; and there is a benefit for both sides of the participants: those who offer and those who receive the service. The real reason for the service to exist makes use of underutilized resources, or excess capacity, giving us hints of the nature of the expanding society.
