viability of the
location as a tourist

Questions to Ask for Enhancement
Using Technology
• Substitution - tech acts as a substitute
– What will I gain by replacing the older technology with the new
technology?
• Augmentation – tech adds functional
improvement
– Have I added an improvement to the task process that could not be
accomplished with the older technology at a fundamental level?
Questions to Ask for Transformation
Using Technology
– How does this modification contribute to my task?
• Redefinition – creation of new tasks previously
inconceivable
– How is the new task uniquely made possible by the new
technology?
