Foil 12 Scenarios: BizWorld

From Future of Multimedia Internet Systems CPS640 MultiMedia and WWW -- Spring 97 Semester. by Marek Podgorny * See also color IMAGE

Summary
"Code it up, lock it up, ship it out" is now the standard for multimedia application delivery.
  • Intellectual property rights, fraud, theft and vandalism have forced the tight control over all aspects of the digital world.
  • Consumers are left with a "choice" world, with all goods priced and delivered accordingly to "The more you can pay, the more you can play".
  • Remaining consolidated information mega-corporations fight ferociously over the battlefields of standards creation and consumer loyalty while stifling the consumer multimedia market.
Businesses, unable to sell the interactive multimedia world to consumers, have seized upon the competitive advantages of multimedia being spurred on by falling hardware prices and increased productivity.
  • The Bizworld is a world where interactive multimedia technology clearly favors business over consumers.
