RE: How the iTunes Store Revolutionized the Music Industry - Book Club #17: "Steve Jobs"
Steve Jobs leapt us into the 21st century, essentially. “It’s pretty obvious that everything was moving to digital and that consumers were going to buy less and less physical copies of music” Exactly, he recognized the problem and created the solution. Adapt or die. That’s why Apple is the giant it is today. Steve hatched and mastered the classic “$0.99” song!! Hahaha
Don’t laugh too hard now, but I’ve thought about this idea before. What if we were to effectively merge drone technology and delivery food? If the technology ever gets there (I believe it already is) we could cut the wait time for food we delivered 2-3x, especially in highly populated areas :)
“What if someone steals the drone?” – Why would they? The person ordering the food already paid for it using a credit card, and/or the company has the address that the drone was sent. Plus could use a tracking chip haha!
If these two merged as beautifully as I think they could, every restaurant/fast food restaurant could enjoy the increased profits while the rest of us can stuff our faces a little faster ;)
I agree, he's absolutely one of the most influential people in the technological explosion that has occurred over the last few decades! Adapt or die - exactly. You can see all the contrasts between Apple and many other tech companies and especially with the record labels. The labels that were unwilling to innovate their way towards digital music lost in the long-run while Apple flourished because it adapted and created the foundations of the future!
I'm with you my friend, drone deliveries aren't too far off in my opinion. The only issue that I could see is a scenario where too many companies get access to drone deliveries and then there becomes a problem of "overpopulation" of drones delivering various packages. There would definitely need to be some sort of regulatory body overseeing the usage of drones, especially in highly populated cities.
Haha yeah, it would be a win-win for the companies and for us, Amazon is leading the drone charge, that's for sure!
