6A - Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

I think with all of the trends around GIFs and other social media things currently going around, there should be an app or way to create GIFs or emojis that are current to you.  An app to upload your own pictures and create your own GIFs and emojis to share with the world, personalize them.  I think that this targets all cell phone users and is extremely easy to exploit.

I see this because I see the need for it myself and I rarely use GIFs and emojis, so if that is the case than it must be a huge market out there.

2)      This is an idea that I have come up with and did not find an article. 
I think that companies and celebrities should be able to trademark and purchase specific hashtags.  Such as, say the Miami Dolphins own the “#GoFins”.  A royalty will be paid to everyone that uses the hashtag.  It is also away for people to make money, buying and selling hashtags much like we do for websites.  I think this applies to all large companies, sports teams and celebrities alike.

I see this need due to the fact that everyone is trying to get out there and make money, this is an opportunity for the rich to pay others for a quick service.

We are basically saying that making minimum wage and paid sick days needs to be a regular thing for all businesses.  It is unfair to walk into a new job and have to spend 6 months to a year before you can even start to accumulate sick/vacation days.  The fact that most jobs make you use a vacation day for being sick is a bit absurd as well.  This applies for anyone with a job and will catch on quickly.  We need an agency to go out and police companies for their sick days and vacation days.  Plus, no one wants to work with a sick person because they cannot miss a day, then the entire business gets sick.

This is a much needed item, especially as the new President is working on changing the structures of business and government in the near future.

4)      I work in the marine industry, EPA is constantly on our butts about disposing of oils, gas, diesel, cleaning products, etc.  There is absolutely nothing about the marine industry that is clean or does not harm the environment.  However, many of the changes they make, are without consulting or spreading news of the changes to marinas.  Therefore I am stuck finding myself trying to locate any new regulations they may have changed on a weekly basis.  In order to appeal to the marine industry, there should be a blog website or other source of information of anything people are hearing, both local and nationwide, about any new restrictions or regulatory changes.


This would help the entire marine industry and the environment equally.
