On a philosophical but related note .... do you think that the 'rent everything, own nothing' route may lead to an endemic disregard for what's being rented? ... bounce off another car while parking? ... "who cares, it's just a temporary disposable item" ... could we end up with a tattered run down general environment where no-one has pride or interest in anything, from our public spaces to their houses (or rented 'living pods' they flit between as they drift around the gig-economy) or anything else they temporarily pay for the use of?
Woe betide anyone who owns or values anything nice!
Bit bleak, but you can see the seeds of it in the disregard for public spaces by the litter-strewing graffiti scrawling socially disenchanted already.
