Most of these revolve around non-tech industries having horrendously bad tech/web presence. Laundry, musicians, hospitals, government, banks- all of these are extremely traditional fields with many of them mired in incredible amounts of regulation.
Hospitals are particularly embarrassing- even just moving to electronic records is taking them over a decade and ~100 billion dollars to do. Many hospitals are still fighting the transition heavily despite every estimate I can find pointing to massive cost savings several times the initial expense. Unfortunately I suspect we'll all be waiting a long time for even basic conveniences like home blood drawings, let alone cheap MRI's.
