I hope that startups like Omni (https://beomni.com https://beomni.com) / autonomous cars + cheap remote storage end up working out well, because it would allow people to not actually need to own the things they’re not sentimental about.
I love living light and spending time all over the world, but it seems super inefficient for me to need to lug all my crap everywhere every time I move, when the same exact crap is available in every locale.
Typical example is a drill/toolkit, if I’m only going to use it occasionally, wouldn’t it be great if I could just borrow one one off for a day here or there? I don’t need to own it, I just want to use it. Multiply across all the sufficiently generic things I make use of in life, make it convenient and cheap enough I can depend on those things often, and you can live only truly owning the things you actually care about.
- nathan_f77 8y agoA drill is a great example. I bought one about 3 years ago, and I've only needed to use it about 4 times. The most recent time was a few days ago, but I wouldn't have been able to fix something without it. I don't regret buying it, and it doesn't take up much room, but it would be great if I could have just rented it each time.
