That's quite an insight. I've never connected those concepts together before.
There's a staggeringly long list of things that are now post-scarcity because they're digital. Each item used to be a luxury available to few instead of a thing that scales to all.
So here's a new way to ask an old question: What's something that should be post-scarcity, but currently isn't?
- jpindar 9y agoTextbooks? There are many ebooks that are legitimately available for free, but textbooks are typically expensive.
- baursak 9y agoAnything that costs $0 to make a copy of, but is sold at premium. Enterprise software like Oracle, etc. Digital Music. Streamed Movies and shows (Netflix). Also, anything that costs nearly $0 at scale, but is sold at premium. Internet service. Cellular service.
