I view apps like this as a transition helper, eventually automated cars will replace uber drivers, etc. However until that tech is fully ready people have to do the jobs.  These apps are like creating the interface before the back-end is ready.  The real interesting financial possibilities in my opinion about the &quot;gig economy&quot; is
the long term potential for when it&#x27;s not people who are doing the &quot;gigs&quot;.<p>Of course people should be a lot more friendly to the people who unfortunately have to rely on these &quot;gigs&quot; to get by.
