E-commerce in social networks

Buy without going to a store was unthinkable 15 years ago. Many consumers still seem some resistance and distrust for the purchase of certain items such as clothes, over the network. This is getting slowly in the past. For Silvio Meira, Chief Scientist of CESAR (Center for Advanced Studies and Systems of Recife), the evolution of online commerce is necessarily through social networks. "We are on the verge of having a change in the business of e-commerce, which is established since 1995. I would not doubt platforms fully integrated social networking sites like Facebook, "he says.

All network

Social networks should not leave the scene so soon. Facebook and Twitter, for example, account for millions of users exchanging information and data. "It would be great if a doctor had a specific network to receive feedback from their patients and also to communicate with pharmaceutical companies," argues Professor Quartiermeister. This is one of the possibilities of using small networks, so that custom may intensify the contact between people afetatando in this case, the relationship between doctor and patient.

Intelligent clothing

Imagine miss someone and suddenly feel embraced by receiving an SMS. This is the proposal of CuteCircuit, clothing company in the United States. The smart clothes, though they look more futuristic, can bring several advantages to consumers over the next year. And the ideas are not few, ranging from sunglasses with video cameras, bright dresses - like the singer Katy Perry wore in a gala (photo) - and even gloves and special uniforms that can improve the ability of some professionals.

Cell phone or credit card?

Who has not spent a grip on time to pay the restaurant bill and the little machine card did not work. This damages the image of the enterprise and also makes the client uncomfortable. "The machine now works as a mobile phone chip. Why not take it away from the scene and only use the device of the client? "Suggests Meira. The idea is to eliminate the plastic used in the production of the card and turn the phone itself in two in one: small machine and cardboard. There are already some initiatives with the use of the device in place of a credit card, but nothing used in large scale and may ban the use of the portfolio.

The end of paper money

Eliminate the portfolio is also the idea of ​​a professor of entrepreneurship and innovation Business School São Paulo Evandro Paes Dos Reis. "There are studies that seek technologies as a substitute for money," he says. The approach, he explained, is not strictly financial, but also a matter of health and sustainability. "Can you think how much paper and ink would be saved? In addition, the money is already known to a transmitter of disease, "he says. According to Reis, this also means an economy. "The cost to make a $ 0.50 coin is much more than the actual money is worth" he says. For him, despite the production of money is the task of the federal government, innovation is more accessible to smaller companies and, in turn, more flexible.

No more wires

Future homes will probably be free of wires. The assessment is the scientist of CESAR. "We will have a peak of wireless infrastructure in homes, businesses, and then in mobile environments," he says. More than eliminate the annoying wires that normally pile up and are difficult to tame, more companies should come to cover the demand for applications that can be used in motion, as in cars and even airplanes. The internet of things must prevail. The trend is that people can control the tub, the refrigerator and even the oven with a touch smartphone, the distance from anywhere.

Office of the tablet

In addition to lead home from work and vice versa, the relationship between man and machine must overcome the lack of wires and distance. "Besides the obvious implications in the use of technology - how to change radically the way we use computers in everyday life - new interfaces also multiply applications focused on life sciences," says Gitahy. The idea is that devices like the Iphone can be used by physicians and psychologists. "They can improve the rehabilitation of people with mobility problems or relationship and cure phobias," he adds.
