Ask HN: What industries are most underserved by technology?
- eb0la 9y agoNot an "industry" per se; but civil servants everywhere struggle rutinely with technology...
- muzani 9y agoIt's really hard to define underserved. Deep learning now has a lot of potential, but it's not being used to solve a lot of things. YC's RFS is a good place to look: https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs/ https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs/ Government and health care can be difficult to penetrate too, and there would be a lot of potential for people who have the connections.
- PaulHoule 9y agoMachine learning can do a lot of things, but it won't as long as people are putzing around with the NIST digits. The missing link is the ability to create training sets.
- ux4 9y agoIMO: Food. Just think how many thousands of dollars the average person spends on food per year and how very little of that is tapped by technology. There's Uber Eats and other food delivery services popping up, but there's still a lot of money to be made in the industry.
- tschlossmacher 9y agoAviation, Private Aviation. Most systems are legacy and haven't moved forward because of so much regulation. Once you've moved past that user adoption is hard because most of the industry hasn't seen tech before so it's manual work.
- eb0la 9y agoIf I remember well just preparing a flight plan used to be a lengthy, tedious, task. Looks a good field to me. And making $PEOPLE/$COMPANY life easier is a sustainable way to earn the bacon.
- twobyfour 9y agoI would suggest what are sometimes called "trades". How does technology currently fit into the work of your plumber or cabinet maker?
