Have you ever used Uber, Ebay, Facebook or AirBnB? Then you are officially part of the sharing economy.

The unofficial "economy" encompasses the ideas behind open-source software and peer-to-peer sharing.

Companies like Uber let you connect with other users in order to find a ride without talking to a big taxi company. AirBnb lets you connect with people offering rooms for rent, without having to go through a hotel.

The sharing economy is all about decentralizing the platforms where consumers communicate and exchange goods, which hopefully makes using available assets more efficient. You are no longer paying rent on your empty apartment when you go on vacation because you can use AirBnB to have someone else rent your room.
