In the age of computerization and new technologies, doubt arises between old and new business models, since the latter come to replace their predecessors, generating fear and despair in their wake.
This is the case of the Koala Models Agency, a platform that comes to replace the old and outdated traditional agencies. Among all this fauna of new competitors, misgivings emerge strongly. But why?
This reminds me of the time of the Luddites.
According to Wikipedia:
The Luddites were a secret oath-based organization of English textile workers in the 19th century, a radical faction which destroyed textile machinery as a form of protest. The group was protesting against manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. Luddites feared that the time spent learning the skills of their craft would go to waste, as machines would replace their role in the industry. Over time, the term has come to mean one opposed to industrialisation, automation, computerisation, or new technologies in general. The Luddite movement began in Nottingham in England and culminated in a region-wide rebellion that lasted from 1811 to 1816. Mill and factory owners took to shooting protesters and eventually the movement was suppressed with legal and military force.
I am surprised to see some comments from haters who intend to get dedicated services for free and if they do not, do not hesitate to rant online. It is the new era of equality 2.0
Scam allegations, fraud, outrageous comments against color or plus size models.
Fear of change is normal, but this fear is not going to prevent an incipient transformation at a time when business goes electronic through smart contracts, and now even more with an uncertain future where social distancing will end up tilting the balance next to the future.
