Another 3 Innovative uses of the Ipad by the hospitality industry
iPads Promote Hotel’s Social Media Presence
San Diego’s Hotel Indigo is incorporating the iPad to act as a virtual guestbook for guests to use. Visitors can ask questions about the local area to the hotel’s Twitter followers. They are also encouraged to connect and log comments on the hotel’s other social media pages. The hotel will have a live feed of their Twitter and Facebook pages streaming on a large display in their lobby, albeit under hotel staff supervision. Although the hotel’s concierges are present to assist guests, it harnesses its social media pages to create a network of online followers to make area-related recommendations.

A few weeks ago I found that the Ipad had made a big impact on the hospitality industry and once again I have found more recent updates on the Ipad revolutionizing the hospitality industry. More and more companies are introducing the Ipad to the industry which is making face to face roles between staff and customers decline. Technology really is starting to replace humans, there are many examples such as above, the Naples Tomato of Naples Florida announced they will have a Ipad instead of a sommelier to recommend wine.
I don't believe that technology is starting to replace humans, however I feel that technology is aiding humans more now then ever before. Good article.
