Experience Goods

Luigino Bruni ()

A chapter in A Lexicon of Social Well-Being, 2015, pp 53-56 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We are witnessing the emergence of a new demand for participation in the consumption, saving, and use of goods. There is a crucial difference, for example, when considering the Internet of 10–15 years ago: now it is inhabited by websites, email, and the web of social media and apps. We inhabitants of the network are more involved and seek greater attention online. Similarly, television today not only broadcasts programs for “viewers,” but asks us to vote for the best singer or player. The interesting thing is that people participate; they invest time to give their opinion and to feel that they are an active part of a new form of communication. All this serves to create an experience.
