2. INDUSTRY: Consumer services
ORIGIN OF THIS INDUSTRY:
 Consumer services are the variety of services provided to
consumers of a product by the field that creates, markets, or
provides the product.
 Consumer services began to boom when division of labor became
commonplace. Being the assigning of different parts of a
manufacturing procedure or tasks to different people in order to
improve efficiency and productivity
 Division of labor limited the breadth of people's knowledge,
which in turn caused the need for services.

3. Some of the major history highlights of this industry :
 1876: Alexander Graham Bell patents the electric telephone. Customer service takes a
leap forward as customers can avoid having to travel long distances for product
information or to arrange for repairs.
 1980s: Database software, which would evolve into Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) software, evolves to be used in customer service.
 Early 1990s: People begin to use the Internet. You may have heard of it.
 1998: Live Person, now the largest live chat company, launches their service.
 Mid-2000s The rise of the online help desk.
 2009: OLARK creates the first live chat that stays on-page, eliminating the need for the
annoying "pop-out." Live chat brings back the immediacy of human interaction to the
internet.
 2017: The chat world becomes differentiated by Live messaging and Live chat and we
could finally order food online.
