The sharing economy is a little like online shopping, which started in America 15 years ago. At first, people were worried about security. But having made a successful purchase from, say, Amazon, they felt safe buying elsewhere. Similarly, using Airbnb or a car-hire service for the first time encourages people to try other offerings. Next, consider eBay. Having started out as a peer-to-peer marketplace, it is now dominated by professional "power sellers" (many of whom started out as ordinary eBay users). The same may happen with the sharing economy, which also provides new opportunities for enterprise. Some people have bought cars solely to rent them out, for example.
Incumbents are getting involved too. Avis, a car-hire firm, has a share in a sharing rival. So do GM and Daimler, two car-makers. In future, companies may develop hybrid models, listing excess capacity (whether vehicles, equipment or office space) on peer-to-peer rental sites. In the past, new ways of doing things online have not displaced the old ways entirely. But they have often changed them. Just as Internet shopping forced Walmart and Tesco to adapt, so online sharing will shake up transport, tourism, equipment-hire and more.
The main worry is regulatory uncertainty. Will room-renters be subject to hotel taxes, for example? In Amsterdam officials are using Airbnb listings to track down unlicensed hotels. In some American cities, peer-to-peer taxi services have been banned after lobbying by traditional taxi firms. The danger is that although some rules need to be updated to protect consumers from harm, incumbents will try to destroy competition. People who rent out rooms should pay tax, of course, but they should not be regulated like a Ritz-Carlton hotel. The lighter rules that typically govern bed-and-breakfasts are more than adequate.
The sharing economy is the latest example of the Internet’s value to consumers. This emerging model is now big and disruptive enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it. That is a sign of its immense potential. It is time to start caring about sharing.
We learn from the last paragraph that ______.
选项
A、sharing economy will not go long
B、sharing economy reveals consumers’ value
C、regulators and companies should realize sharing economy
D、sharing economy will replace traditional ways in the near future
答案
C
解析
选项A属于无中生有,错误。选项B对应该段第一句:The sharing economy is the latest example of the Internet’s value to consumers.可见共享经济体现出互联网对于客户的价值,而非体现顾客价值,故该项错误。选项C对应该段第二句:This emerging model is now big and disruptive enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it.其中“have woken up to”=“realize”,“it”指代“the sharing economy”,故该项正确。选项D属于无中生有。综上所述,本题答案为选项C。
