From my perspective, a business ideas can be very creative and innovative since it is an 'idea' of what might be possible. I had and have many business ideas as I grow up, and I would like to introduce some of them here.
1) Online game Enviroment A.I. development Company
Before I move on to details, it is important to understant what 'enviroment' is in online game world. The enviroment in online game world is considered as non-user objects that interact with users with behaviors that is predefine by program. Good example can be drawn from RTS(real time simulation) game called StarCraft. Once a user decide to play a single player mission, the A.I. interacts, e.i. fighting againts, with user to somewhat make them think there is a real person playing with them. But, the crucial problem of A.I. computer kicks in soon or later. The limitation of A.I. ability to handle various exception is considerable low.
There are a lot of facts that cuases A.I. lack of ability to perfom like or better than human. One of them is the cost. Since game development company is spending a lot of momeny and time to get the game going, I would like to propose the other option to them. The business plan that i made was to make a company fully devoted on development of A.I. computer for gamings.
2) UE development and improvement company
What is UE? We surely, as CSS major, know what UI, user interface, is right? UE stands for user experience. Driven from recent reading for TCSS 452 class, I've thought, "how about making a company or team fully devoted to create better user experience while using various interfaces?"
3) Waitless Order
With a hightech that has been developed recently, I believe it is possible to install a clear screen on the tables of restaurants that displays menus. In recent conference in CES2010, there was a technology introduced that allows a computer screen to be transparent and still display images.

By adopting this model, there will be no waiters to take your order, meaning no frustration on telling them bring my water, spoon, or etc.
The order of the food will go into the kitchen straight in order the customer submits their order. Waiters, they are still there to deliver the food to the table, will be waiting to deliver what is needed. Thus, the number of waiter will be reduced significantly.
4) Trashcan that has hole?
This idea hit me when I was young. As most teens do, I hated to clean my room. Whenever my mom yelled at me to empty the trash can, I yelled back I can hold for few more days. Then I thought what if there is a trashcan that has a hole under it that is connected to trashyard somewhere, or even connected to a local collector that gets emptied frequently just like what Trash Car does to the trash cans in town.
5) Cellphone payer
This model has been adopted throughout many Asian developed countries, such as Korea and Japan. This is not a 'new' idea, but it is very efficient and useful. I don't know why we are not using them right now...
The concept is to turn a cellphone into a protocol that ables users to purchase something by just touching the cellphone to a pad. When we, as UWT student and faculties, we have a key card that we have to touch the pad with to open up the doors. Very similarily cell phone will work just like that to purchase services.
I.E. in transit, when we are getting on board, we can just touch the cellphone to the pad located on the enterance to pay the money. The amount will be added into next month's cellphone payment.
