TIS Weekly (#78): Sharing Is Caring
[December 4th, 2016]
Can’t say I’m a DIY enthusiast or talent, so I have never invested in power tools. However, a recent home improvement project demanded a drill. None of my friends owned one. So I turned to Peerby, an online platform which connects you to people in the neighborhood. Amazing! Borrowed the drill within a day. Yes, I’m a big fan of the Sharing Economy — looking very much forward to what this month will give us :).
