The great thing about the digital age is that it provides tools with which we can do whatever we want. Take crowdfunding, for example. Now, anyone can use the power of the internet to collect money for anything: for a children’s playground, or a cool book about the New York subway design, or a new cancer drug.
It also means, of course, that people can raise money for other things. Things which we may wish had never even come into existence. Like, say, a rucksack which looks just like a scrotum.
