Especially for digital and information-related technologies, the dismantling of monopolies is accelerating rapidly, from centuries to decades to just a few years. \r\n\r\n\u200b1. The 'Instant' Dismantling of Information and Technology Monopolies (Case Studies: Movable Type, Wireless Communication)\r\n\u200bCause of Acceleration: The proliferation of the internet, social media, and smartphones has brought the cost of information replication and dissemination close to zero (0). In the past, physical printing presses or broadcasting infrastructure were necessary, but now, knowledge is shared globally with just a few clicks.\r\n\u2022 \u200bPattern: When a new innovative technology emerges, a few companies initially hold a monopoly. However, due to the open-source community and global competition, similar technologies spread and become standardized, weakening the monopoly power within a few years at the latest.\r\n\u200b2. The 'Redefinition' of Physical/Virtual Resources (Land Ownership)\r\n\u200bPhysical Resources: The dismantling of monopolies over physical resources like land still proceeds at a slow pace, taking decades or more. This is due to the physical scarcity of the resource and the rigidity of existing legal frameworks.\r\n\u2022 \u200bDigital Resources: Technologies like Blockchain and DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) fundamentally redefine the ownership and sharing of digital resources, accelerating the restoration of a sharing ethos. In this sector, new sharing models emerge every few decades.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u200b\ud83c\udfaf Conclusion\r\n\u200bIn the 21st century, the duration of knowledge and technology monopolies is rapidly shortened to 'within a few years', whereas the monopoly of physical resources remains a long-term problem of 'decades or more'. This results in a notable difference in the speed of monopoly dismantling between the digital and analog domains.\r\n\u200b",
