The early 2000s were the years of “apps.” In 2008, Airbnb was created by roommates in attempts to make rent, and it became the first app in the sharing economy. By 2018, Airbnb was worth $38 billion. That same year, TaskRabbit was created to hire individuals to run errands and complete simple chores. In 2010, Uber was designed, and within 5-years, Uber drivers had accepted 1 billion rides.
