Trusting complete strangers has become the norm and it is having a big impact on our economy. Does having access to a car without the hassle of owning a car sound like a dream come true? What about designer dresses or jewelry? Well none of these ideas are dreams. The reality of the sharing economy gives people access to almost anything at a fraction of the cost of ownership. And it is all thanks to technology and our unusual trust in complete strangers.
