Consumption 2.0 [Technically Speaking]

Have you noticed that as we dematerialize consumer goods (that is, change their atoms to bits), we\´re less likely to own them? Businesses like iTunes have furtive terms of service that turn out to merely license the music you think you\´re buying. And then there are fee-based services that forgo media ownership entirely, such as Spotify. As visionary and Wired cofounder Kevin Kelly puts it, "Access is better than owning."
