A story about a park being closed down because people living near the park complained about the noise of children’s voices.
- Lots of people happy to have a park.
- I think it’s natural and I don’t speak up about it.
- People who think kids in the park are too loud.
- Complain loudly
If each person’s opinion is combined, the park survives.
- However, the “cost of expressing an opinion” is so great that a large number of smaller opinions are not expressed and are considered zero.
- This structure could be improved by technology that lowers the cost of expressing opinions.
- A digital technology-based opinion system can be a means of improvement.
It could be said to lower opinion distribution costs.
