Capitalism 2 and Capitalism Lab Forum

We have been working on the service sector and one new component of the system is a list of technologies that can be researched by players and AI companies.

Currently the player can only research a product. In the proposed new system, the player will be able to research technologies that contribute to products / services / software.

Below is a sample list of technologies which we will continue to expand, and we intend to make it moddable by users as well:

Video streaming
Touch screen tech
Audio streaming
Social network
Heart rate monitoring
Voice recognition
Hand writing recognition
Speech synthesis
Cloud computing
Solid-state Drive
Air aluminum battery
Lithium ion battery
Wind turbine
Quantum computing
Language Translation
Real-time video chat
3G telecommunication
4G LTE telecommunication
Search engine
Photo editing
Video editing
Data Mining
Deep learning
Big Data
Real-time 3D rendering
Fitness tracking tech
Digital photography
Crowd-sourcing
Virtual reality
Augmented reality
Motion sensing tech
GPS navigation
Mobile payment
Fingerprint sensor tech
Advertising engine
Web User Interface
Desktop User Interface
Mobile User Interface
<more being added>

If you have any ideas for technologies to be added to this list, please feel free to post here.

IMO, their name isn't that much of an issue, when modding is in play. The fundamental question is how differently does this service sector tech influence services than tech influence manufacturing. And that brings us back to how differently would service industries work as basic mechanics. Do we have contracts where customers constantly get services and always paying fee? Do we allow buildings to link with services like linking media to advertisement (the true service industry existed in game so far)? And information industries are something new and just part of the service industries as well. Would services industries inter-connected with products? like advanced communication tech give rise to higher sales volume to newer communication devices?

There are many fundamentals need to be addressed here. What need to be included as service industries? And what's the basic flow of services and cash flow when we talked about their business models?
