everything you need at your fingertips through your smartphone visualization has already greatly shaped the work force is specially in the service industry nearly half of the employees worldwide work in this sector in germany they make up 3 quarters what is it like to receive assignments from i phone we asked a by korea. exercising outdoors receiving job replaced by phone meeting friends and getting paid for it all but the life of the by korea may not be quite as great as companies would like you to think only contract employees have a guaranteed income freed on story and get their assignments through the net ensures an algorithm decides how much they will end. let algorithms only consider performance criteria such as speed position and reliability they don't care about the human being behind the data self employed koori is looking into these can. 1st

of the so called economy they fight for any short commission. university lecturer a team. in the working conditions of the digital age. people who work these gigs don't necessarily decide when and where they do it. instead the platform assigns them certain jobs doesn't. it often find themselves at the mercy of the up. as if they were waiting for bread crumbs that the site's algorithm tosses out. constantly waiting for the next job is nerve wracking and emotionally exhausting in germany unions and politicians are raising. new developments in digital technology we're seeing new forms of exploitation and precarity by couriers for example they've gone without any real social safety net for a long time. doesn't sound easy but i don't want to be by korea so that's

not my problem. actually that's a bit shortsighted so-called digital capitalism as broad radical changes to our working lives and is affecting more and more people according to. the should know he's been working in the sector for 20 years and has written 2 books on the subject . digital capitalism is a historical phase of capitalism in which algorithms and data take on the role that machines and resources used to play. in this digital capitalism the data corporations that specialize in data extraction dominate the market. these businesses cloak themselves as platforms. in the future experts predict that fewer workers will receive contract positions google's already. moving them right not even half of the employees under contract.

many work in precarious instances in theory whenever and wherever they want but even if they're independent on paper they may still be closely monitored one example amazon's warehouse workers known as pick their work day is determined by digital. warehouse workers in particular are monitored very very closely with device they carry around with them watches every step they make and gives them a clear instructions on where to go in the literal sense of the term which optimal paths to walk. it's reminiscent of the assembly line days people were reduced to performing single simple ideal movements of. digital technology to optimize those workflows must be every employee is dream but

they could also use these programs to identify optimal employees and these forms of digital control limited to koori s. and warehouse workers algorithmic management systems as they called a showing up in other sectors as well software tells me when it's time for a break to give my back a rest sounds great and if it helps to flatten out hierarchy is all the better on the other hand. in detail. how does that affect me mr dahl difference is often the physical boss disappears and is replaced by digital technologies that are invisible people far closer watch these mathematical theorem . these mathematical see in these mathematical theorems about a group. imagine i had a computer counting how much expensive studio time my bills cost now that's total digital control. what algorithms com count however a social skills to measure those you simply need to ask your employees rating

systems in which work is evaluated one another becoming more commonplace they were inspired by the customer rating systems we used to from most major internet that phones. i produce have brought me a cup of coffee today. would i again. online fashion retail is the land of developed design no rating system based on coworker feedback in order to digitally track the worst performance of the company's 5000 some employees union friendly foundation examined this system this study shows that the sensation of total surveillance that creates damage the working environment and yes more and more companies are favoring digital monitoring and with his with flexible availability under these circumstances workers can hardly defend their interests. but we're dealing with a kind of digital early capitalism it's as if new digital factories were popping up there's no regulation so we need

a process involving labor struggles and they're already happening for. example google employees are trying to organize in unions they say the company has been blocking them and some even reports having been sacked. but the company denies this. i actually recognize many developments in this digital platform economy that we know from the history of the workers movement as of course the over drivers today are organized very differently than in facebook groups and they call wildcat strikes kind of post-modern union movement and i think that's a positive development or i definitely welcome it. so there's still hope but many of these checks and balances already part of labor law at least in germany the large into that corporations are not too happy about them before tech giants. facebook and amazon or operate worldwide

and set themselves above national regulation in most countries they can avoid taxes and use the monopolies to their advantage national day. protection laws just a nuisance to them and they don't like taking responsibility for what happens on the sites they have a watertight defense is they've insisted that just intermediaries all that this neutral market places of course that's not really the case says. special about these platforms is that the ones who set them up are the rulers there they decide the rules and they're also the ones acting in these markets they themselves created software. for example amazon has provider on the marketplace that it has created worldwide. so it's not just the referee it is the same time it's also a player with. 2 main reasons why the gaffa big 4 dominate the

markets one is the network effect that is as services usefulness increases disproportionately with the number of participants the more the merrier then there's the feedback effect the bigger the side the more data it can collect to optimize the system and that makes the site even more attractive to uses google and co hugely successful in securing their monopolies according to major silicon valley investor peeta deal competition is full loses. there's just no way around digital capitalists is there. in india small businesses uprising back against amazon india's powerful shopkeepers union has been trying to block amazon's entry into their 1000000000 euro market with protests as well as legal and political action the battles yet to be decided. meanwhile china's the tech giant out with its enormous pile will. put its they've been

pursuing quite a radical protectionism and i have to say very successfully. in the world's largest domestic market the chinese counterparts to silicon valley's digital corporations have been a huge success and have gathered in a mensa number of users. so they get this algorithmic feedback effect in a very pronounced way. the chinese model is pushing digital capitalism very hard in its vast market. the overwhelming power of big multinational tech firms hold also 10 in just nation states western politicians are still looking for the right approach and the e.u. has imposed steep and he trusts penalties american politicians like elizabeth warren or bernie sound is even calling for the internet tech giants to be broken up . that's a lofty promise and by the way 7 of the 10 most highly valued corporations

worldwide tech firms apple microsoft alphabet amazon facebook the chinese e-commerce group alibaba and tencent which owns. the market dominance it seems unshakeable except for apple and microsoft all these companies have been around for less than 25 years in just a short time they've become the biggest players in the world market and their main resources i intend to use a data and algorithms. but would he dream any change anything if he broke up last corporations but then wouldn't you players just take over the market and we'd be back where we stop it is a platform isn't from la or mali these platforms are markets but since they're part of our digital infrastructure the classical market mechanisms no longer apply. these platforms should be treated as a public service and be a freely available infrastructure. because the india should facebook and google be

nationalized and should digital infrastructure be freely available just like roads and rails without private corporations raking in a drain just profits would digital capitalism have to make way for digital communism. i'd say we are moving into a stormy transition radical social change has always had profound consequences for individuals the same went for the industrial revolution in time workers managed to fight for some of their rights with the digital revolution similar what do you think will be soon end up as the paid click will cause all will the digital revolution have positive effects on most of our lives let us know what you think on you tube facebook on the w dot com and i'll see you at them. look
