I hope you are doing well. I wrote an article not long ago connecting the sharing economy, digital platforms, and sustainable collaborative consumption ( preprint paper can be found further down). How do you view the digital platform mediation in sustainable collaborative consumption? I'm interested in a deeper connection to the digital platform's role in impact in sustainable collaborative consumption through bike-sharing. What are your thoughts? What are the most interesting alternatives in terms of academic and practical to develop? Best wishes and Happy New Year Alexandre Silveira
The idea of a digital platform in the sharing of consumer goods is a good idea. In the case of bike-sharing it has not worked because it is not a convenient mean of transportation in my part of the world. Motor-bike sharing might work. We now have car-sharing and also airbnb where homeowners share their spare homes to others as vacation homes.
Not just the way to go, but the only way to go. The only set back is that it deprives the psychosocial connection between humans by kind of mechanising relationships. This can be circumvented at personal level by creation of more awareness. Personal survival is equal to economic survival almost surely. Digitised platforms will invaluably facilitate greater use of the human brain for greater assurance of survival increasingly.
