From the Ted Talk by Joe Gebbia: How Airbnb designs for trust

Unscramble the Blue Letters


(Laughter)

Javier and Alejandra innlsatty become guardian angels who will save your life without even knowing you. They will rush you to the hospital in their own car while you're dying and stay in the waiting room while the doctors give you a bypsas. They don't want you to feel lonely, they brnig you books to read. And they let you stay at their huose extra nights without charging you. Highly recommended!"

(Applause)

Of course, not every stay is like that. But this coeotincnn beyond the transaction is exactly what the sharing economy is aiming for.

Now, when I heard that term, I have to admit, it tripped me up. How do sharing and transactions go together? So let's be clear; it is about comemrce. But if you just called it the rental economy, it would be ieconptmle. The sihnrag economy is commerce with the promise of human connection. People srahe a part of themselves, and that changes everything.
