Some sharing models – perhaps most – rely on both labor and other assets: for example, a person and his or her car, computer, sewing machine, or kitchen (for home-delivered meals). This throwback to the cottage industries that preceded modern production is possible today because the Internet is lowering the costs of dispersion that once compelled the concentration of work in factories and offices.
一些共享模式——或许是大多数——同时依赖劳动力和其他资产：例如一个人以及他或她的汽车、电脑、缝纫机或厨房（送餐上门）。而这些存在于现代化大生产之前的淘汰行业之所以能存在，就是因为互联网降低了分散作业的成本——须知这些工作过去只能被迫集中于工厂和办公室中完成。
