The Evolving Paradigm of Technology

March 11th, 2009  |  Published in Consumer Electronics  |  4 Comments

Simple and direct has replaced complex and obscure.
Example: Flip sales figures and acquisition rumors this week.

Function and ease-of-use marry exclusivity and fashion.
Example: Fergie promoting HP usability. 

Reliability and convergence usurp bleeding edge.
Example: Engadget’s nod to Nokia for exploring the next big trend.

Consumer retention outweighs acquisition.
Example: Kodak’s new upsell technology released at PMA.

Insightful innovation leads ubiquitous invention.
Example: Intuitiveness of the PalmPre charging dock receives as much press as the Pre itself.
