"We are all digital labourers, helping make possible the fortunes
generated by firms like Google and Facebook, the authors argue. If the
economy is to function properly in the future—and if a crisis of
technological unemployment is to be avoided—we must take account of
this, and change the relationship between big internet companies and
their users."

Interesting thoughts.  Via Kam-Yung Soh.
