Some great examples of transparent technology when you don't notice it ... making technology work for you!

• SAP ERP
• SEEK Job Board
• Gumtree Online Community Noticeboard
• ESPN CricInfo
• eBay Online Marketplace
• Google Search
• Facebook Social Networking
• Apple iPhone
•  ... and let's not forget about Microsoft! ...
• Microsoft Office
• Microsoft SharePoint (when implemented correctly!)
• Microsoft Dynamics AX
• Microsoft Dynamics CRM
• Microsoft Partners In Learning

The end result – a complete & seamless merging of Physical and Virtual worlds!

• Convergence of physical and virtual worlds NOT collision!
• Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne running on iPad
• Still a physical board game but seamless integration to a virtual environment
• Magic the Gathering (a fantastic game)
• Use mobile browsers to look up card prices
• A simple one; being able to get Sports statistics and news (any device) from the Internet whilst still watching it on TV
• So there’s no discord.

Now these technologies are good in terms of a technology platform there is however a bit of dischord in their business which is noticeable: 

• Uber
• Share code with traditional taxis companies
• Share code with the regulator (why be seen to be writing your own laws)
• Air BnB
• Share code with traditional hotel & motel operators
• Share code with brick and mortar property investors
• Share code with the regulator

You may be successful in the long run but you are making it much harder for yourself … it is not efficient

So on this point there’s a smarter way to go then directly conflicting with the traditional industries, their partners and the regulator!
