the death of the “car analogy”
January 24th, 2018
With the rise of the “sharing economy”, and companies like Lyft proudly declaring 250,000 people ditched cars in favor of ride-sharing, what will be the fate of the venerable “car analogy“?
Heck, what was the common analogy before cars?
How will language and colloquial usage change with the [eventual] death of the car as the most common means of transportation (presuming, of course, it actually will die)?
I wonder if the death of the car will prove to be, in the historical view, something like the loss of the shared social experience that TV used to be.
