Finances Online's Graphic Introduces Tools for a Hi-Tech Santa

— December 23, 2013 — Marketing
In the Christmas spirit, Finances Online has come up with a phenomenally festive infographic that highlights 10 existing technologies that could turn a traditional Saint Nick into a hi-tech Santa.

By implementing cutting-edge technologies like Amazon Drones, supercomputers and Hyperloops, Santa’s job on Christmas Eve, as well as throughout the year becomes much more manageable.

Of course, the cost of Christmas doesn’t come cheap — Finances Online estimates that to acquire all these systems would cost Santa a staggering $227 billion. As Finances Online notes, the $227 billion worth of technology is more than double’s Apple’s brand value and the net worth of the world’s three most richest men. Considering how busy Santa is all year and how everything rides on the deliveries he makes on Christmas Eve, these awesome technologies would likely be worth the investment and hardly a price to pay for Santa to lessen his load and continue putting smiles on the faces of kids each year.

2. Tech-enabled Deliveries - The trend of using advanced technologies to enhance and streamline the delivery process for Santa Claus during Christmas.
3. Futuristic Christmas - The trend of incorporating futuristic technologies into the traditional concept of Santa Claus to create a more immersive and high-tech holiday experience.
Industry Implications
1. Ecommerce - The eCommerce industry could benefit from the adoption of Amazon Drones for fast and efficient delivery of products.
2. Artificial Intelligence - The artificial intelligence industry has opportunities in providing supercomputers to assist Santa in managing his Christmas operations.
3. Transportation - The transportation industry can find disruptive innovation opportunities by developing and implementing Hyperloop technology for efficient transportation of goods during the Christmas season.
