Management of scattered resources becomes easier and more profitable

There are many innovative firms which use scattered resources to generate profits. Uber is a typical example of this type of companies. Uber builds a platform to allow private drivers to use their cars and spare time to create wealth. Airbnb also uses a similar idea to run their business. Everyone has occasional excess resources that can be useful to others. Actually, this is not a new idea. The foundation of banks is based on this idea that banks borrow people's spare money to lend to people in need. However, nowadays, advanced technology and mathematical skills allow people to manage more scattered excess resources. Any company, which can find one type of people's excess resources and use its finding wisely, could become the next Uber and attract many investors.
