What is the sharing economy?

WRONG: Although this may sound like an idealistic concept at first, the fun ends when someone spends $1,500 of your wages on a pair of shoes – meaning you go hungry.
rn”,”
CORRECT: That’s right! The sharing economy has been driven by the internet, with hundreds of apps and websites allowing people to borrow and lend things like cars and spare rooms.
rn”,”
WRONG: Sadly, this isn’t the definition of the sharing economy. However, this did happen once. In 2014, a woman sparked an 11-hour chain of paying it forward in the US, with 378 people taking part.

CORRECT: Because it’s a private company, it’s difficult to get an accurate valuation. However, in December 2017, the ride-hailing app was estimated to be worth a cool $48 bln.
rn”,”
WRONG: You’re close, but no cigar I’m afraid. In May 2017, the home-sharing company was valued at approximately $31 bln.
rn”,”
WRONG: When compared to Uber, Lyft is quite a small player in the sharing economy. That said, a fresh round of funding in December 2017 helped it achieve a not-too-shabby valuation of $11.5 bln.

What inspired Uber’s founders to start the company?

WRONG: Come on now. You’re just clicking on joke answers deliberately, aren’t you?
rn”,”
CORRECT: Correct! The year was 2008 – and without that bitterly cold night in Paris, Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick may never have been inspired to create one of the world’s biggest transportation companies.
rn”,”
WRONG: Although this has been one benefit of Uber’s explosion in popularity – with 3 mln drivers delivering 4 bln trips in 2017 – this wasn’t the main motivation of the company’s co-founders.

Uber has created some unexpected benefits worldwide. Which one of these is true?

WRONG: It was definitely worth a guess. But here’s the problem: Uber has never made a profit. Despite its runaway success, the company lost $4.5 bln in 2017, compared to $2.8 bln the year before. No money for new roads as yet, then.
rn”,”
WRONG: Unfortunately, research suggests the opposite – with Uber, rival apps and yellow taxis collectively choking the city’s streets. Research from The New York Times suggests average speeds have slowed to 4.7mph in some areas, down from 6.5mph five years ago.
rn”,”
CORRECT: This is true. The likes of Uber and Lyft have been credited with helping the number of arrests for driving under the influence fall by 50,000 in the US state of Georgia between 2008 and 2017. One city, Atlanta, saw arrests tumble by 32 percent between 2012 and 2016.

WRONG: Generally, Airbnb tends to focus on indoor accommodation. That said, there are a quite a few igloos up for grabs – especially in Scandinavian countries such as Norway and Sweden.
rn”,”
WRONG: Prisons tend to have quite a different clientele, and usually, stays here number in years rather than nights.
rn”,”
CORRECT: As well as spare rooms, the wonders of the sharing economy mean it is possible to hire a grand, historic building for the night – adding a regal element to any trip away from home.

Aside from spare rooms and cars, there are hundreds – maybe thousands – of companies in other areas of the sharing economy. Which one of these is real?

WRONG: This is a perfect illustration that not everything can be borrowed.
rn”,”
CORRECT: Yes, dog lovers… this exists! Borrow My Doggy started life in 2012 and it is based in the UK. It gives pet owners an inexpensive way to get support when they need it, while people who love dogs but can’t have one can get some precious time with a furry friend.

CORRECT: Blockchain-based ShareRing wants to become the “Amazon of the sharing economy” by making it easy for people to find the things they want to borrow – ranging from garden space to books, and trailers to toys.
rn”,”
WRONG: This could mean you need to keep track of multiple logins and accounts. ShareRing intends to do the opposite. The company plans to launch a single “clever, integrated smartphone app” where all of the services and assets someone might need can be found in one place.

WRONG: This would be bad news for travelers. Blockchain start-ups such as ShareRing aim to dismantle geographical boundaries. The company wants to enable customers to effortlessly rent goods and services around the world – with cryptocurrency removing complications during payment.
