Insights after reading that post!!!

: 1) By implementing storage functionality into RFID, we can realize a smart life without a smartphone.

  2) To break free from device-dependent life patterns like smartphone addiction and live a more humane life.


First-stage evolution:  1. Build fused content between digital signage and personal devices.

                     1) Give it the ability to charge devices.

                     2) Fuse with personal-device information to surface the optimal information. 

                     3) Build the relevant apps (services via digital signage at public agencies / banks / airports / stations / etc.).

                2. Implement the above via Bluetooth (TCP/IP).


Second-stage evolution:  Embed RFID into the mobile device    or    insert it into a personal case.

                 Without needing to install an app, partition a single RFID's space to serve as storage

                 so various services can be managed individually; run the first-stage scheme without installation or pairing.

                 → Upside: if personalizable RFID is developed, the smartphone is no longer needed.

                               A smart life without smartphone addiction becomes possible.

                               Instead of entering an already saturated market, we can create a new ecosystem.

                 → Caution:  Do not, under any circumstance, push for a direct result.

                                     Guide a natural shift in perception = iPod → Music Store → iPhone → App Store.
