The term coined by futurist Peter Diamandis is a process by which technology is rendering previously expensive products or services much cheaper — or even free. 
It's mainly happening because we are moving hardware products to software. For example, the phone today has about $1M of applications from a decade ago.

Demonetization (or Dematerialization)

Knowledge is the new money. While goods and services are becoming demonetized and replaced by machines, knowledge is becoming increasingly valuable.

Intellectual Capital

“In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time — none. Zero.”

Benjamin Franklin said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”

Learning Is An Investment

People at the bottom of the economic ladder are being squeezed more aby automation, while those at the top have more opportunities and are paid more than ever before. 
The irony is that the problem isn’t a lack of jobs. Rather, it’s a lack of people with the right skills and knowledge to fill the jobs.

The Automatization Problem

But, unlike money, when you use knowledge or give it away, you don’t lose it.
In fact, it’s the opposite. The more you give away knowledge, the more you remember it, connect it with other ideas, etc.
