A tetrad is a great organization tool to help one determine if an emerging technology will be quickly replaced and what is takes the place of. Essentially it sums up the buyer’s thoughts on key aspects
Enhancement:
The internet has greatly improved communication and availability of resources. The possibilities are starting to be endless with the growth of the internet. The internet allows people to shop, pay bills, communicated, stay connected with social networks, and research or view information on a given topic at anytime.
Replaces
Currently, the internet replaces or is on the verge of replacing mailed forms of communication and bill pay. Also, many do all clothing or electronic shopping via the internet. One can even watch movies online. I think eventually the internet will replace TV’s in general. One can watch a movie via Netflix on the computer on demand.
Replacing the Internet
I think the internet will continue to evolve. More features are added frequently and more users take advantage of it each day. I think almost all devises will be connected to the internet. Right now, one can purchase an electronic book that connects to the internet. Eventually, I feel most everything will be electronic and connected to the internet and rapid speed.
Great Post. I particularly like the time and effort you put into your Tetrad and the visual representation. Interestingly, I was not able to find anything that has become obsolete because of the internet, however, there are many items like those you have mentioned that are on the verge.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, there are many products and tools that we use that give us access to the internet and this is where I believe it has the ability to change how we operate as a society. Thanks for the feedback on this topic.
