"the Internet on crystal meth" e Mongo (parte V)

Parte IV.
.
Recordar o que escrevi na parte I e comparar com isto "The Rise of the Subscription Economy":

"A profound shift in consumers' spending habits, in which goods are repackaged as services, is well underway and has the potential to fundamentally reshape the rhythm of the American economy.
...
Increasingly, thanks to companies like Amazon, even goods like groceries promise to be consumed more like subscriptions. One can now arrange for recurring monthly deliveries of cereals or diapers."

Associei logo isto à minha leitura desta manhã no comboio:

"Human beings are trained to be sensitive to the pain of paying money out of our pocket. This means that even when a process involves only metaphorical money - like a credit card or a storecard - some of the pain effect still carries over. However, when the cost is instead absorbed into a place where you are relatively insensitive to small changes in value - your monthly phone bill - the pain goes away."
