Business Opportunities in the Selfie Era: Where Disruptive Technologies and Life Events Meet

摘要

Developments in the technologies we use to share and recall life events are likely to create an explosion of business opportunities within the next one to three years. The popularity of "selfies" posted on social media services such as Instagram are witness to the growing demand for technologies and platforms that empower users with the ability to instantly share their experiences with friends and strangers anywhere in the world and to archive these memories for later recall in the months and years that follow. As the digital technologies used to record visual images and audio have matured, so have the richness, quality, and immersive-ness of our captured life events improved and become ever more accessible to the consumer market.
