“I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms
of the service it might give others…I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent.”
- Thomas Edison
Don’t start with technology“If you’re thinking you can deploy kiosks, digital signage, or any other customer experience technology by choosing a kiosk enclosure, a plasma screen, or a web site to leverage, stop!
