For relatively low acquisition costs, drones and integrated devices such as cameras and sensors can become complete data collection systems for real estate, construction, agriculture, and security. Barriers to entry are low.
Young people face the ultimate distraction from reality with hand-held technologies and media. They have mastered the art of posting on Instagram with the aspiration of becoming an influencer but never learned how to stick to a task and provide value to an actual firm.
The gig economy is not a traditional economic sector. Much of the reason it has been so profitable for all involved is because its model is brilliantly innovative. Now that one state has committed to essentially dismantle the gig economy, it is likely that others will follow suit.
