Augment my Reality:
What's next? Social networking will transform e-commerce, in the future organizations will take advantage of talent outside the organization by commissioning everything from technology development to marketing campaigns to outside groups and people such as us. The only limits will be the speed at which technology continues to advance. Everything you want, need, or have an urge for will be an app away. You will be able to get what model of car, color, and accessories on line, as you can already at most car manufacturers place an order for the car you want with what you want on the internet, but in this future you will be able to see yourself behind the wheel and feel the power at hand. One thing we can look forward to in the future with all this new technology is what we see today, as IPhone 5 was released 21 Sept 2012. This release created a mad rush to acquire this new technology; but news spiraled out of control as Apple announces they are experiencing app problems as people purchase them. Another area of evolution will be the ability to participate in television reality shows live, younger generations are obsessed with these types of shows; they begin to believe that’s how everyone is and acts. E-Commerce will continue to be a major tool in sales and marketing, it will be an inseparable part of the internet. E-Commerce businesses will have to ensure the ease of use of their on-line store design and setup to make it appealing to customers, and will have to continuously invest in the newest technology and ideas.
