Claire,

Thanks for the information on the Content Authenticity Initiative. It is a great thing that I am sure will spread into other industries. I would like to see them have a system for users to flag things for the initiative’s review. I would also like someplace that shows all the stuff they are finding. I understand this is more of an…[Read more]

I agree that print will not disappear any time soon. For one thing university professors will always want to see their books on the school bookshelf. From my personal perspective. I do not like scanning QR codes. I don’t want my phone, or the QR destination, knowing that much about me. I have, and will, walked out of restaurants if they do…[Read more]

I like how you wonder if this consolidation is good for the customer. Sometimes it feels like that is an after thought in these large companies. They have consolidated so much that no matter who we choose, they win. As I was reading this I was wondering if the tools where the only reason for the consolidation. Data is the new currency. How…[Read more]

I like the idea of offering craft tours. The sites you talk about a great for one destination round trips. However, once you start getting into multiple locations, they have a harder time. If travel agencies offered land cruises. I would be very interested. You can not use the travel sites to know what the best hotels, restaurants, and sites…[Read more]

When I hear stories like this and I instantly think of what could have changed this. Yes a better understanding of the market would clearly have helped. But where did that fail at the leadership level. I have been in plenty of rooms where the boss was convinced he know the answer. No matter how much data or evidence you presented him, he was…[Read more]

You bring up some interesting ideas about the current wine industry. It almost sounds like it is consolidating and fragmenting at the same time. The big companies are buying out the other big companies and consolidating their position. Meanwhile, the smaller firms are fragmenting the micro environments. I am not a big wine drinker, but I do…[Read more]

I never realized how far behind the independent booking industry was. I feel this is such an easy solution that someone would have thought of it sooner. Do you think this market will ever consolidate? The amount of money, and margins, have to be so low that I would imagine most big companies wont waist the time. I would like to see them add a…[Read more]

As I read through this article a thought came to mind. How much are businesses losing from impulse buying from online sales? When I shop online I am usually looking for one particular item. However, when I shop in the store I always end up with more than I went in for, the $1 DVD bin gets me every time. To aid this they could offer discounts…[Read more]

Truth told I am not big in the music industry. The last CD I bought, yes real CD because I have never bought a digital CD and have no streaming service, was Avril Lavigne’s The Best Damn Thing. But I bring in what is happening in the gaming industry to ask about the future this will lead to. Sony recently announced that there will be a PS5…[Read more]

Very true. And with all the talk of big tech companies being looked at for anti competition. Will the government step in and force a fragmentation? Who knows. I wish I did so I could make some investments.

As the big companies continue to compete with each other they start looking more and more alike. Walmart is getting more digital and Amazon is getting more real world. Do you think there will come a day when one buys the other to dominate both worlds? Or are they too big for either one to make a move on the other?

Social distancing inside a production facility is not something I had thought of before. You are right, this could greatly speed up the integration of automation into the production process. This could be a double hit to works who are unemployed because of COVID and now have no job to return to because of robots.

I think the future is combining online with in person. As has been discussed in other posts, Target has some great AI to learn their customer’s buying behaviors. Providing a coupon through the app for someone’s favorite dinner ingredients as they are getting ready to leave work. The person can check out right there. By the time the person…[Read more]

I think shift the us way from such a high beef died is a great way to address many different issues. It would do wonders for the environment. It would also help the average American’s health. I grew up in the Midwest, we would have red meat at least 4 days a week, the other 3 was fast food or chicken. By diversifying our diet, we would be able…[Read more]

I like the idea of improving physical security. Airports are getting very close to being able to conduct x-ray scans as you walk through them. Soon the days of long waits in TSA will be replaced with long walks down x-ray hallways. Then when you through on a powerful AI to scan and find threats, you make the world a safer place for everyone.

This is a great idea to help close the loop between teachers, students, and parents. The best part is it can be used after schools open back up full when things are back to normal. During the pandemic, as parents are helping kids with school, they can use it to reach out to teachers for the correct way of doing things.

On a side note, I never…[Read more]

Using digital innovation to combine all the different aspects of the solution is a great idea. By talking a holistic view of the person, we can start drilling down to more specific causes, cures, and prevention.

Another selling point to the Government of Borneo is a security argument. A lot of times these types of illegal operations are used to fund local terrorism. If something like this can be used to limit illegal operations. This would directly decrees the money terrorist groups throughout the region have to conduct attacks. That is what makes…[Read more]
