In a world where there’s an app for everything and everyone, sharing economy has been one of the terms that keep popping up — as if creating a short-term rental service was the solution for everything. There are even apps that let you rent other app sharing services for a short period — sharinception.

As he neared the entrance to his apartment, breathing a long sigh of relief, he reached into his pocket to take out his phone. This was when he noticed that his battery had gone.

Why all the ducks? Because he…
