We all lost our collective minds when Uber hit the market. And then when Ubereats and Deliveroo exploded, the world became a much more convenient place. Now it seems every service is finding its way into the freelance and shareability platform. (As they should!)
Long gone are the days for both freelancers and consumers when flexibility didn’t exist. We no longer function in a typical 9am to 5pm economy, and therefore people need broader options of getting things done. We’ve all been in the position of having to call back, and then call again, and then send 5 x emails just to get a response when what we need is an answer NOW.
It takes innovators in a variety of different fields to recognise the potential of those tiny computers we all hold in our hands. They are now connecting peers to peers, and businesses to consumers in a way that was previously thought impossible.
In 2018 it only takes minutes to order a private car service, order a meal from any restaurant, to find a handyman to fix any issue, or to find the perfect lawyer for your legal troubles with alifery.
We’re living in the future, people! (Fingers crossed we get hoverboards soon.)
