Netflix, Dropbox, Spotify, Gmail, Skype, Cable TV, WOW and at the office we are virtual also. We just rent the service we need; Salesforce, Soonr, Amazon, Google, e-conomic, even the office space is a virtual office and please don’t forget the daily fruit basket subscription.
Hey, why not using outsourced personnel as your workforce, so now you have a virtual office, with virtual employees, talking via a virtual telephone switch, saving all the documents in the cloud…
A survey at the University of Chicago, Northwestern, Berkeley, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania. Respondents estimated spending $18.65 per month on current subscription services, such as Amazon Prime, Dropbox Pro, Spotify, etc., but noted a willingness to spend over $45 monthly long-term.
One day, Mark Zuckerberg will ask us for $ 1 per month. Suddenly, Facebook Inc., will receive a revenue of half a billion to one billion dollars every month, or maybe even more...
Today you can’t login or create an account at some services, if you don’t have a facebook account. I don’t like to be forced into a subscription, that’s a little bit too much.
Understand me right, I like today’s possibilities and tools, but we need to sit back and reflect on the consequences of such openness and freedom. We need to pick the right subscriptions and manage them properly!
I have a life outside Facebook also, but unfortunately I forgotten my password and my subscription was cancelled :)
