*From “The Internet is…music industry”, we can observe that IT can be used primarily to enhance the following 4 aspects of any industry:

• Sharing,
  Distribution/Delivery,
  Storing,
  Calculation

*From “The role of IT…Knowledge Management Initiatives”, we can observe that IT must be deployed with a purpose:

• Is your industry competing on products or services?
• Is the information component a major part of your product/service?
• Will information sharing enhance the capabilities of your field employees or deploy them more effectively(can u use IT to pair experts with novice)?

*From “Mobile Gaming”, we can observe that IT can be exploited:

• Content is a viable business
• Take a service, make it mobile
• Subscription & acquisition

Okay, let’s generate some ideas/buzz-words:

Location-based (GPS), mobile, subscription, automobile purchase, food payment, food ordering (too bad already implemented), banking, customization of clothes, concierge, matching experts to you, platforms for organizing sprees, taxi, movie (distribution), tourism guide, information validity check, bar-code reading to the masses, online-offline sync-ing, school & e-book distribution + group collaboration device, voice-enabled interview, job markets, accelerometers for measurement devices, content subscription (newspaper, etc), photo-editing/output, event organizer, safety, construction, what other thing can “MMORPG”, i.e. POI mass-rating scale, virtual mapping restaurant booking virtually, using IT to find parking/foodcourt seats (eliminate queueing), using IT to ease handicapped personnel getting round, remove ERP?!, deploying mass game quests as immersive classroom lessons, with side quests as “tutorage” earning module credits.
