Abstract:
The current framework of industries are too much separated, although not a small number of them share the goal of satisfying the same human needs. This is because current industries are too much technology driven. Industries were developed on the basis of technology inventions and they grew on the same track. They do not look back and examine what human needs led to such an invention. If these industries are redesigned and united, customers will be more satisfied because their expectations will be met more perfectly and consumption of energy will be reduced considerably. Thus it will bring about a great increase in productivity. Such expectation-driven reorganization of industries will bring forth seamless society where people can enjoy their life more comfortably because it will respond to their own needs and to their own tastes.
