In a challenge put forth by my friend at AUX TV and BITE TV Crystal Gibson (@CrystalGibson), I have chosen to refute the notion that Multimedia giant Apple Inc. has reached it’s limits and will struggle to reveal future innovations. I won’t go in-depth because I actually want people to read this so I’m just going to throw some ideas out there.
Let me begin by saying without much creative thought there are already a few ways that Apple can expand on what they have already established and even offer new innovative ideas to the world.
Off the top my head I first think to Apple TV, the opportunities for expansion are vast and expanding into Satellite television and internet service providing would be the start. Major service providers around the globe are for the most part limited to their own countries, Apple being the global brand that it is would have a distinct advantage. Imagine one company capable of offering television service to the whole world, what would this mean? Universal pricing and programming to go along with the online and other online media capabilities Apple TV already offers. The ability to offer everything to everywhere in the world is something no other cable, satellite or online company can come close to providing. Now before offering all of this we skipped a step. People need actual televisions to take advantage of this utopian multimedia wonderland. So what do they do? I’ll tell you what they do, offer a full scale of televisions from the small 10 inch screens to massive 72 inch and projector screens. So now not only are Apple competing and toppling television and internet providers worldwide, they are now challenging Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and others television innovation and screen design.
The next would be the world of video gaming. The trail has already been blazed by Microsoft with the Xbox. This idea needs no explanation, simply substitute Microsoft Xbox with Apple (insert name here).
Now for a fantasy land idea because you just know there has to be one. That of course would be the world beyond, the final frontier yada yada. SPACE TRAVEL. Once the privatization of the space program is complete, which it will be eventually, all major corporations will be competing to invest in private space agencies and/or develop their own. One would have to believe that in the coming years few will have the means that Apple possesses to make such a transition. Imagine Apple TV streaming live from space on you Apple TV, MacBook, iPhone, iPod or iPad…
Speaking of MacBook, iPhone, iPod and iPad, did I not mention those? Too easy! Only a dimwit wouldn’t be able to come up with a variety of ways for Apple to be creative and innovative with all of those products.
There you go Crystal , this was done on my lunch break at work while eating.
Challenge accepted! Challenge completed! On to the next one…
Thank you for accepting the challenge. Great post! Apple TV from space would be the best!
