'''Future runoff''' is a term used to describe the propensity of an object to lose value outside of a certain context or situation. For example a glow stick at a concert costs $5, but has a $2 value outside post-event. Similarly, items which once had value in a certain time period (an Apple iPhone, for instance) may have no value in only a few years. Deprecating value is a result of quickly developing object-based economies.  
Simple example: a glow stick at a concert costs $5, but loses value outside of the context.

Similarly, items which once had value in a certain time period (an Apple iPhone, for instance) may have no value in only a few years.
