How the Blockchain Revolution Will Reshape the Consumer Electronics Industry [Future Directions]
Abstract
Discusses how Blockchains will revolutionize the consumer electronics markets. Blockchains have attracted wide attention as the basis of the cryptocurrencies, e.g., bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies may or may not be the future of money, but blockchains are a different matter. Blockchains are considered a new form of information technology that could revolutionize technology, industry, and commerce. In this article, we analyze the winds of change currently blowing on the booming multibillion-dollar global consumer electronics (CE) industry. The revolutionary impact of blockchain technology on supply chain management is discussed as well as potential use cases for CE. We conclude by stating that blockchain technology has the power to make the CE industry a more transparent, safer, and honest place.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
