The only constant is change, and in the internet age we need to understand that we are living through the biggest culture shift of our time. There’s a huge cultural shift happening on the web around business, marketing and one to one relationships. You’re going to walk up to your refrigerator in a couple years, and you’re going to open it and your refrigerator is going to be a smart refrigerator and it’s going to act like smartphones act. Remember when cell phones used to look like bricks? The same way our cell phones have become smartphones and they aren’t what they used to be.
The same thing is going to happen with our refrigerators. When you walk into your kitchen you are going to have a smart refrigerator (like smartphones). This refrigerator is going to know your buying habits. For example when you walk in to your kitchen and you open up your fridge. You are reaching to grab your last pepsi, your refrigerator is going to scan it and order it for you directly from the manufacturer. Do you know who this is going to affect? This is bad for wal-mart, costco, target ect. I think we are massively underestimating how big this culture shift is. Smartphones are just the beginning of smart everything.

    11 years ago when I was in college, a team of students designed the smart refrigerator. I can't believe it's been this long and still hasn't hit the shelves in full effect. There is so much potential out there for "smart" everything. What in the world am I waiting for?

    Ryan,

    Sorry for the delayed response. One of my responsibilities is to enhance SEO and make our company more visible on the west coast. I'm a recent college grad and wanted to get some advice from a seasoned professional. If you have any knowledge you'd be willing to share, I'd love to hear it.

    Thanks,

    Erik

    It wouldnt necessarily be bad for big supermarkets if they can find a way to maximize their home delivery services. It could actually benifit them if they do it right!

    Actually Gary, most smartphones are much bigger than the phones we all used eight years ago.

    Gary, great stuff. I sent you a Facebook message (too long for twitter) the other day asking for some marketing advice for a startup company I'm currently involved with to a great extent. The message is from Erik Wright. If you get a chance to respond, any piece of advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You can also email me at wright.erik312@gmail.com

    Hope to hear from you soon,

    Erik
