How will the Internet and digital technologies affect the following companys Kodak cameras and film American Airlines and the Metropolitan Museum of Arts?

Answer 1

(a) Kodak cameras and film are affected by new technologies because people don't have a need for film or digital cameras anymore. Everyone has a camera built into their phone which is much more convenient than a traditional camera. Exploring strategic partnerships with cellular phone companies would be a beneficial next move.

(b) American Airlines took advantage of new technology first, when it integrated its formerly stand-alone computer system with the Net. With the advent of ticketless travel, a customer can make travel plans in as little as ten minutes. In addition American Airlines was the first U.S. airline to offer full in-flight internet. As a result, these practical innovations lead the airline to become one of the most efficient, and successful companies the industry's history.

(c) The biggest trend in museum exhibit design today is the creative incorporation of technology. The Metropolitan Museum of Art should explore the potential of mobile technologies (cell phones, tablets, digital cameras, MP3 players, etc…) for visitor interaction and learning in museums, drawing on established practice to identify guidelines for future implementations. To be successful in the longer term new museum media always needs to harmonize with existing practice.
