We'd be fools to not use these productivity gains afforded by modern information technology. The technology and creativity behind it have outpaced our classifications of what a job is.
Uber and the like seem to be in a grey area - a middle ground. We'd be foolish to throw away the gains and opportunities that have been created but we also need to have a debate about what the "employees" role is in these types of positions, what is owed to them from the company and how society most benefits from these arrangements. We need to define a lot of things and determine how they should work in a civilized society.
I don't have the answers but I believe it is clear something fair on all sides needs to be considered.
