Kevin Kelly's visie op de verschuiving van eigendom van content naar toegang tot content

"Better than owning" - a world of subscriptions giving instant universal access (to content, at least)

Better than Owning

Better Than Owning Ownership is not as important as it once was. I use roads that I don't own. I have immediate access to 99% of the roads and highways of the world (with a few exceptions) because they are a public commons. We are all granted this street access via our payment of local taxes. For almost any purpose I can think of, the roads of the world serve me as if I owned them. Even better than if I owned them since I am not in charge of maintaining them. The bulk of public infrastructure offers the same "better than owning" benefits.

Future. Very very cool.
