Be Aware Of And Be Open To The ‘New Economy’
April Rinne, futurist and head of the sharing economy working group at World Economic Forum, spoke about how in just two years the vast majority of adults in the world have mobile phones. For this and other reasons, changes are coming to the new economy that in the past we could not fathom.
She gave an example of the sharing economy and the use of cars. “The average car isn’t used 23 hours a day,” stated Rinne. However, with better resource utilization of cars and other things, it improves economics, the environment and convivence.
“New business models help people save money. They boost sustainability and often build community,” said Rinne.
The new economy will allow us to rethink almost everything!
