RE: Everything as a service - Are we going to own less stuff?

A question with a multi-tiered answer.

The short version is yes we will. In fact, a case could be made we already do. As we see things become miniaturized and digitized, we see less "physical" things. We not only use to have music in the physical form (a record/CD) but something to play it on. Now it is on a device we use for other purposes.

This image says a lot.

And that doesnt include roadmaps, dictionaries, or enclyclopedias.

However, there is a downside to all this. We do not own what is loaded onto our phones in most instances. It is under an account with Apple or Google. This could be a problem in the VR world.

That said, NFTs will change this. Hence we will likely own more in the future, just not physical stuff. They will be digital representation of something else, perhaps something that isnt even physical itself.

This is where the answer gets convoluted. In the end, my hope is that tokenization means we all own a whole lot, as opposed to it being in the hands of a few elitists who want to run the entire world.

That's a very good point. The very meaning of "ownership" will be very different with NFT's and other technologies that will be incorporated into our daily lives.
