As technology evolves products and industries get left in the past. Here are a few example with their new digital replacements.
- Uber is the largest taxi company in the world, yet they are just a software tool and don’t own any cars
- AirBNB is the biggest hotel company, although they don’t own any properties
- Google is your yellow pages, local news paper, atlas, advertiser, and personal encyclopedia
- Amazon is a large local book store, department store, shopping center, and lot more
- iTunes is the local record store, with no employees
- Netflix is blockbuster, without stores or late fees
- Expedia is your digital travel agent
- Facebook is your party-line phone, your local digital community hall, digital class reunion, and digital garage sale
- Instagram is your Polaroid camera and photo album
- The Smartphone is your telephone, computer, stock-ticker and global access gateway – all in one and in real-time
