Loyalty cards that know as much about our preferences as the people at the corner dairy used to know, and can prompt us accordingly

eBook software that can reconfigure any book into the writing style of our favourite author

Consumer protection legislation that requires companies to maintain a comprehensive range of spare parts for products for a minimum number of years

Caller ID software that provides community-generated ratings for incoming calls, so that we know the likely interest level or nuisance value before we pick up the handset
