Leverage: With APIs, a small startup can do as much as a large company, and sometimes even more. Silos are Ripped Down: Data is mixed and remixed everywhere. Productize & Profit: Businesses can deliver their core assets or services far more easily. The API is a portal, but data delivery is really at your core Source: http://nordicapis.com/how-apis-are-disrupting-the-way-we-think/

- Outdated Regulation, Insurance, Health & Safety, Competition Policy Quality Control -> from government to people via crowd sourcing (but still need standardised reputation systems) Unintended Macro Economic Impact of Surge Pricing: Neighbourhoods, Affordable Real Estate Black Market Imitations Need for new public procurement guidelines to promote sharing ‘’In many places, laws do not allow you to insure a car that you rent to a neighbor, sell vegetables grown in your backyard, create a for-payment ridesharing service, or rent out a room in your home for short stays.
